Lies My Teacher Told Me: What Your American History Teacher Got Wrong

by Mary S. Strokenberg

Lies My Teacher Told Me: What Your American History Teacher Got Wrong
The history that you think you know and that which was taught in school is not necessarily history as it transpired. Many events and characters in American history have been misrepresented, in classrooms, books, films, and folklore over the years until they have reached the point where they are accepted as true despite the fact that they are not. In other cases, events and actions have simply been overlooked or ignored, and events and characters are judged not by who or what they really were, but by the myths that now surround them. Often these misconceptions are based on political realities, and equally often many are ignored because of their potential disruptions to the overall American myth. Read this book to find 10 examples of either unknown or misunderstood facts throughout American history.
