The Real History of the American Indians
What do Snow White, Cinderella, and smallpox blankets have in common? They’re all fairytales. In this shocking episode of “Real History,” Matt Walsh rips apart the myth of peaceful, noble Indians who were supposedly victimized by evil white settlers. Matt takes on the biggest mainstream myths and left-wing shibboleths about the settling of the American West. It’s time to ditch the self-loathing propaganda designed to demoralize us and replace it with raw, unfiltered history that radical academics and Hollywood don’t want you to see.
