Howard Zinn the historian

[Tero]

Zinn wrote a Peoples History of the United States. He has been so influential that the right saw it necessary to write a rebuttal book. This:

The rebuttal author also wrote on slavery. We are not responsible in any way. That was the Founding Fathers!

Debunking the 1619 Project: Exposing the Plan to Divide America Kindle Edition
by Mary Grabar
Celebrated historians have debunked this, more than two hundred years of American literature disproves it, parents know it to be false, and yet it is being promoted across America as an integral part of grade school curricula and unquestionable orthodoxy on college campuses.

The “1619 Project” is not just bad history, it is a danger to our national life, replacing the idea, goal, and reality of American unity with race-based obsessions that we have seen play out in violence, riots, and the destruction of American monuments—not to mention the wholesale rewriting of America’s historical and cultural past.

In her new book, Debunking the 1619 Project, scholar Mary Grabar, shows, in dramatic fashion, just how full of flat-out lies, distortions, and noxious propaganda the “1619 Project” really is. It is essential reading for every concerned parent, citizen, school board member, and policymaker.

There is a customer review that saves you the trouble of reading the book! It's on US Amazon, so if you order from other Amazons, sometimes this messes up your Amazon preferences.

If you go to other Amazon sites, it will be in the "top reviews from other countries" section. By Athan.

After reading A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, also by Howard Zinn, I wanted to learn more about our more recent presidents and their legacies. This volume offered some of the info from the original book, in order to keep continuity, but also continued to the Clinton presidency. Due to our current political problems in election 2000, I was able to reference my areas of interest. More specifically, the role of the electoral college, and how the vote is affected by voter turnout. I found, for instance, that due to low voter turnout, Geo. Bush, Sr. got into office with only 27% of the country's vote, claiming the election as "the will of the people". The same applies to Ronald Reagan. During massive budget cuts in social services, there were significant demonstrations all across the country during the Reagan administration. I hadn't been aware of this information since the media just didn't cover a lot it. The current political climate becomes clear when reviewing events from Zinn's historical perspective. Howver, this is a book written for the common man, not for the mythology of conservatism. If you like Rush Limbaugh or Chris Matthews, you won't like this book, although it isn't partisan, but rather clear and comprehensive.

Howard Zinn is a Marxist communist. He, in 1974, wrote a history of the United States stating that it was created to protect the wealth of white, wealthy, slave owners and that whites massacred the Indians as soon as they arrived on the continent.
He wrote a STORY, not a HISTORY. HE is a debunked blatant liar about the United States History. Do not support this book by spending your hard earned money on a pack of lies.
Luckily Howard Zinn is dead now, as dead as his false history of this country and he won't be able to write anymore bushwah.
