The academic Left has been working for decades to replace genuine American history with a farrago of tendentious nonsense designed to make Americans embarrassed to be American.
Howard Zinn’s history of the United States and the 1619 Project are just two of these efforts. Those whom they have thoroughly propagandized will have no objection to their plan to “fundamentally transform” America. What one does not value, one will not defend.
In the face of this threat to our very survival as a nation, I did the only thing I know how to do: I wrote a book.
Most historians of the American presidency—walking in lockstep with today’s hard-Left academic establishment—favor presidents who were big-government statists and globalists. They dislike presidents who lowered taxes, protected American workers, and avoided getting the United States entangled in foreign conflicts that had nothing to do with protecting the American people. It is through that prism that they see all of American history.

There was no “party switch” in the 1960s, with the Republicans embracing racism and the Democrats racial justice. But there was indeed a party switch that influences American politics to this day
The Democratic Party’s support for civil rights was always marked by a deep and self-serving cynicism, with one Democrat President even boasting that his civil rights bill would have “n—-rs” voting Democrat for 100 years
