straight up the biggest lie actually printed in american textbooks is how Lincoln was against slavery, he was elected as president and this made the south attack the united states so they could keep their slaves. Therefore the civil war, and in the civil war the good guys (the government and Lincoln) won despite the dirty tactics of the south.

literally that's how it's told.

I don't think "state rights" came up once in my American History class.

Ha I know its stupid Lincoln need to be convinced by other republicans to be against slavery. And hell the civil war wasn't even about racism it was about the economic gain of the south.

>come to bitch about the Civil War
>non-Confederate flags have already done so

Well, fuck.

Oh its fine you can join in to!

too* FACK

That a black man invented peanut butter.
Or anything else for that matter.

dixie boy,here,Louisiana.We learned about state history and napoleon because of the la purchase.they said the hatitis rising up and killing the whites was good.We learned how seperate but equal was bad.Stalin good and Hitler bad.

Not revisionist but during history class, we only learned about OUR part of ww2

I seriously grew up thinking ww2 was only about us and america VS the japanese, Never touched any of the Hitler stuff

>McCarthy did something wrong
Motherfucker should have been hanging these commies.

The idea that African slaves were captured and rounded-up by Europeans instead of being bought from Arabs, other tribes, or kingdoms.

Did you even know of Hitler?

On the reals.
I was taught McCarthy was a bad guy.
That guy is unironically my hero.

That the potato famine was engineered by the Brits and that all Ireland's woes are the fault of Britain. Also that De Valera was a hero and not a complete cunt. That there were no Irish Catholic Unionists and no Irishmen volunteered to fight for Britain in WW2.

t. Irishman working in England

check'd

What's an eastern front?

I am not sure about history revisionism, but there is one I remember the most. It was about the ozone layer and how we are all fucked because the ozone layer will disappear in 10-30 years.
That bullshit has completely gone from the public consciousness and has been replaced with (((global warming)))

YO JOE!

Blacks were the real Jews

...

>17% of the rainforest is destroyed each day

It was some absurdly high number like that.

We had to watch "Channel 1" every morning, a globalist-news-4-kids-featuring-tons-of-corporate-advertising. This was in the mid 90s.

aw shit I found some

youtube.com/watch?v=abEZwhQiUyM

The Shoah.

Haha, shit, I remember the Ozone layer. It's actually moved on from global warming to the next version: "climate change".

I think the evolution is - global cooling > ozone layer > global warming > climate change. There are probably more steps.

that's because the ban on the propellants in the aerosols that were causing the damage was effective.

you can find plenty of documentation on the recovery of the ozone.

Don't think for a second that mankind-influenced climate change isn't real. You really think humankind doesn't have the ability to influence world wide climate? We've been redecorating the surface of the earth since the beginning.

The climate change just isn't going to fit the doomsday scenario the left are pushing for political gain. all that 'muh sea levels' crap is the turning of real facts into propaganda to fit some agenda

I was taught that rome was a multicultural society and that diversity is what made it powerful.
This was in college, before the cultural appropriation idea became a thing. So they might have changed their tune. They probably just argue that Greeks were black now and that Romans appropriated black culture.

The entirety of what was taught about the civil war was just Lost Cause of the South bullshit that most of the other faggots in my school ate up. Alaska is the South on steroids.

Praise Sherman

The ozone layer was because of hairspray if I remember correctly. The passed a law because of it if I remember correctly.

WEEEE WUZZZ ALEXANDER AN
SHIEEEEEEEEEEET

CFCs motherfucka.

Did this in university too. The Barbarian Migrations were just a big multicultural party, the Western Empire didn't really "fall" you bigot.

This was at the University of Cambridge. Obviously we read dissenting voices like Peter Heather and Bryan Ward-Perkins too but that was the faculty's party line.

Settle down now. Nobody's denying we have an impact on the planet. We're highlighting the media hype.

FUN FACT: Sherman had an 0 and 6 record against the Confederate army. Undefeated against women and children though.

>Praise Sherman

THIS

>mah states rights
Fuck off, the civil war was about slavery, all states sense the 1820 compromise were admitted as pairs, one free and one slave state to keep the balance in congress because they thought otherwise the union would split. (Which was proven right). This went on till the compromise of 1850 when California was admitted as a free state alone, but with a harser anti-run away slave bill and plans for Kansas as a slave state, but then a bunch a freestaters ran over to Kansas to sabotage it's entry as a slave state, that plus tensions from the run away slave enforcement and weaking of enforcement and the law directly related to the fact slave and free states no longer having equal power in congress broke down the compromise and lead directly to succession of the south.
Anyone who says fights about slavery didn't cause the civil war is brainwashed.

Not much that I can remember unless you mean muh holocaust. I was in the advanced classes so we avoided spending ten million years each and every year studying jews.

Bad shit about Lincoln, good shit about blacks (the peanut butter thing was bullshit). Israel is necessary, all the problems in the world are white people's fault. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Niggers are our equals. The list goes on and on. Funny how after all their brainwashing I'm still here.

>revolt because your jewish masters tell you to do so
>fight and die in the hundreds of thousands for the right of jews to own slaves
>150 years later whine that Sherman kicked your shit in
>still suck Israel's dick and advocate for war in the Middle East for Israel's sake

Maybe try sucking less jew dick

Wht do people treat this like it's so complicated? It was about both states rights and slaves because it was about a states right to own slaves.

slavery was no longer profitable and the number of slaves was greatly diminished for the aforementioned reason. you are embarrassing your country with your ignorance.

Peanut butter just kind of happened. GW Carver did a lot of amazing work in the field of agriculture and particularly with peanuts. I don't know why they gloss over him with peanut butter when what he actually did revolutionized farming.

That "evil kitsch American culture is taking over France!" segment is hilarious in modern Islamic context.

and lol Anderson Cooper was on this show. I always knew that shit was evil.

Hitler was a painter and decorator, told to us by History teacher no joke.

>Doesn't mention that during the civil war the union had slave states
Remember kids: It was the radical republicans who cared about slavery, Lincoln just cared about getting shit done. Don't be a wordy idiot like this tard.

The full on WW2 and WW1 meme, and basically nothing else.

It can be summarized as: The holocaust was bad and it is our fault, WW1 was bad and it is not so much our fault. Also a bit about the unification of Germany after the Franco-Prussian war.

Things missing:
HRE
Napoleon
anything at all about the medieval times
anything about rome at all
what did actually happen in WW1 aside from people felling bad about sitting in trenches
what did actually happen in WW2 besides the holocaust
what is communism

Read The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government by Jefferson Davis
Everything you were taught is a lie. Lincoln the homosexual was a tyrant and pen pal of Karl Marx.

You'd really only learn about Communism if you took a government class. We never learned about capitalism, socialism, or nazism either.

*In parenthesis*

>the Jews were not responsible for the slave trade, as many people are starting to believe

It was randomly inserted into a page that never even mentioned the jews.

It should have deserved a mention, especially when talking about WW2.

McCarthyism is still a valid fallacy though even if he ended up being right about all those people being communists.

You can't just accuse people of collusion without evidence.

>It was about states right, if the state right in question was to own slaves
Yes.
Wether or not it was profitable is not realvent here. The settling of territory gained from the Mexican American war into states threatened slave states power to stop any abolishlisn laws. The compermise of 1850 delayed the war for 10 years, of course it broke up with the kanas-Nebraska act of 1954 (which ended the compromise of 1820: always adding one slavestate and free state at the same time) which led directly to the formation of the Republican Party, whose capture of the national government in 1860 led directly to the secession crisis of 1860–1861.

Wars don't usually start over one simple thing, and the Civil Wars was definitely no exception. While there were abolitionists in the North who were more than up to fight to free slaves, Lincoln's motivation was to stop the South from leaving the Federation, and really didn't care about slavery all that much. Southern states were getting pissed off about their diminishing political power for many years prior to this, which led to bad things for them - like being financially exploited to build manufacturing in the North.

I don't know if it's necessarily "revisionist" but the heavy emphasis on slavery:

based on my public school education from grades 1-5, so until around age 11, the only history you're learning is about slavery and Underground Railroads. It's like more important to the curriculum than the Founding Fathers, which they barely teach you about.

He had tons of evidence on these people.

That FDR fixed the Great Depression through his New Deal.

And on a less important note, that knights in the middle ages wore armor so heavy they needed to be winched into their saddles.

...

>civil war was over slavery and the racist white ebil south started it
>nazis persecuted the kikes for absolutely no reason and jews and have never been backstabbing nation wreckers
>communism is alright and hasnt killed 5x what the nazis did at all, literally no mention of communist crimes while shoving slavery and the nazis down our throats and how we should be ashamed of being white

Everything I mentioned was in our history textbooks.

2nd balkan war - the damned serbs and greeks backstabbed us - in fact it was an international cock-up which leaked all the way to us.
ottoman rule - the janissary system was a bit exaggerated and it is portrayed as the turks taking the first born of every family as a blood tax and mothers weeping for their children and so on - in fact it was an elite thing and only 2nd children were taken in and the law had to be changed to allow muslims to be taken into the janissary corps, as the position was so lucrative and elite that the turks wanted their own children in it.
4th crusade was stopped by kaloyan - yes its true, though it wasnt the 4th crusade in its entirety - it was quite fractured at this point
cyril and methodius were OBVIOUSLY bulgarian and it was only because of bulgaria that we got the cyrilic alphabet - well no, it was developed in bulgaria, but the work of cyril and methodius began in great moravia, who asked the eastern roman emperor first for an alphabet of its own, then things got fucked there and they chose the german catholicism, so cyril and methodius continued their work in bulgaria, as it was the most close language at the time and only there they could salvage their work, and simultaneously our king boris asked for an alphabet of our own
simeon was just about to take constantinople and he got assassinated by the greeks! - yeah, no. the siege engines he had were such a laughing stock, they intentionally didnt use them not to demoralize the army. the siege was a bluff at best, and a total disaster at worst.

>can't just accuse people of collusion without evidence.
Allow my fellow leaf enlighten you about "McCarthyism". It's long as shit, and best listened to on a commute or something, unless you have nothing better to do.

>civil war was about slavery
wow glad to see we can admit that countless whites died solely to stop slavery =]

that catholic schools were pure evil even though they taught natives how to live in a civilized society. i guess a couple nutjob teachers beating kids (which was not exclusive to native schools) means every white canadian is guilty of indefinite racism

also more than the slaves' people ever did for them btw

We were taught the Holocaust never happened

Had one dumbass nigger teacher in the 4th grade teach us that Africa was a country, and pointed to some fucking poster with the continent of Africa and some blacks wearing Egyptian headdresses.

>What is the Peoria speech
>lincions anti slavery speech of 1854
How does it feel to be blow the fuck out so hard?
To pretend Lincoln wasn't anti slavery is pure revisionism
If at times he didn't act in that direction as fast as some would have liked it's because he was working within a republican system of government that required compermise and he had bigger problems to fry

>the Trail of Tears was bad

>pure evil even though they taught natives how to live in a civilized society
Frankly, I too wish residential schools never existed. That way natives would have been completely unable to integrate, and would probably still all be on their reserves speaking gibberish and being mystified by metalworking and the wheel, instead of committing crimes in our cities and lobbying for infinite gibs.

Something something Nanjin blah blah comfort women yadda yadda Unit 731 etc Pearl Harbor and so on. My senpei called history sensei a lying baka zainichi commie and got yelled at by the coach for an hour.

youre a korean, arent you?

Same, McCarthyism was taught in my class with a slant. Basically that McCarthy had no proof whatsoever to support his claims about communism making intrusions into American society. I did some research regarding campuses that were noticeably opposed to McCarthyism, and ironically, they now have openly-communist students, and apologetic communist professors (Evergreen is a great example, their alternative motto which was originally meant as an insult is "Atheism. Communism. Free Love.") Evergreen also has student groups related to socialist groups within the USA.

A lot of other campuses that protested against anti-communist laws are also overly-liberal in the present (i.e. Harvard).
The professor's rhetoric was also annoying, he would always refer to most "witch-hunts" as crusades, along with using the same old arguments regarding present things, that McCarthy was basically using communism as a scapegoat (he never elaborated).

Wot in tarnation

Fuck you say pig?

youre a korean

Succession caused the civil war, succession was about slavery. To say old abe started the civil war to keep the union together while leaving out why the union spilt is putting the ol Ox before the cart, and stupid word games.
incoln often expressed moral opposition to slavery in public and private. Initially, he expected to bring about the eventual extinction of slavery by stopping its further expansion into any U.S. territory, and by proposing compensated emancipation (an offer Congress applied to Washington, D.C.) in his early presidency. Lincoln stood by the Republican Party's platform of 1860, which stated that slavery should not be allowed to expand into any more territories. He believed that the extension of slavery in new western lands would block "free labor on free soil", and he also wanted a peaceful, enduring end to slavery. As early as the 1850s, Lincoln was politically attacked as an abolitionist, but he did not consider himself one. Howard Jones says that " in the prewar period, as well as into the first months of the American Civil War itself....Lincoln believed it prudent to administer a slow death to slavery through gradual emancipation and voluntary colonization rather than to follow the abolitionist and demanding an immediate end to slavery without compensation to owners.
Pic unrelated

Fuck you. I don't even know your flag.

>New York was built by slaves

No blacks lived in the region until the British took over the city from the Dutch. All the blacks that keep whining about how they built New York is a big fat lie since there weren't even blacks around at the time.

This appears in French guide books for New York

as many holocaust days as they could fit into the year. usually 4+ every year for one reason or another. even as a kid it was annoying.

well thats the proof youre not really japanese

>id is iumwomht
>number is 7777
Luck incarnate

We were taught about "cultural relativism," which is simply the idea that every culture is unique in their own way according to its people, and is thus not inferior or superior to other cultures. The professor applied this to the natives, and said that natives were whitewashed and forced into assimilating into American culture (he put an emphasis on "America having no culture")

Secession...

You some shit hole in eastern Europe?

well he was sort of right. american culture is european culture. or at least it was back in the day. now there is a divide

Lincoln being liked by northerners

at least we are working on a friendship with our separated by commies state, kim. things are looking good for the future. how about you?

Lincoln: " My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union."

Secession is not a declaration of war. If someone leaves your party early, you don't have the right to knock them unconscious and bring them back inside and tie them up.

Yeah, Europeans became giant faggots who banned guns, forced to have immigrants come into their country, and pay a shitload of taxes.

You guys became faggots, while America went on to kick ass and take names.

1 fucking number off being

i thought you niggers were on suicide watch or something
because boyko's a shit pm or something don't remember

How recently was this? I was starting to hope that academics were coming around to the views of the guys you mentioned.

If it takes place in Israel, war in the Middle East is good. Bomb sand people, just not the ones we bomb now.

dont watch the news desu. but i am happy for working together with macedonia. ive sort of approved of boyko - i mean hes better than the communists, and the democrats dont have enough votes, and the nationalists are a joke

Fuck you I'm not Korean. You are a gypsy. Go steal and live in a painted wagon and fear vampires you stub nosed bowlegged peasant shit.

One of my favorite jokes in the Simpson's is when a government official is interviewing Apu about being able to become a legal migrant and he asks about the reason for the civil war, Apu launches in to this detailed explanation and the official cuts him off with "Just say slavery". Kinda sad the more intricate version of events is now pretty much wiped out by modern schooling.

American culture was more existent back then than now. Yes it was derived from European influences, but the Americana culture developed later on. Now days, states have their own cultures that are vastly different from one another such as Texas, New York, California, etc. Nevertheless, the US had and does cotinue to have culture.

yeah, the EU fucked up a lot of things. though paying a lot of taxes can work. i mean as it is its too much, but taxes shouldnt be too low either

The north had slaves you fucking idiot

im talking about 1600-1800
it was colonial european culture

>North American Indians were a literal stone-age culture
>colonial Europeans reached the bronze age over 4000 years prior to contact
>neither is inferior or superior
At least tell me you didn't have to pay for this kind of (((education))).

When I was in 8th grade we had a history teacher, Mr. Burns, who taught us black men were faster at tack and field because they had an extra bone in their foot. He even made diagram on the chalkboard.
I'm 54 now. Poor Mr Burns would be fired today for that shit!
