American History (No Hype and Myths) Phillip Adams Talks to Tony Horwitz part 3

The truth of American History,Tony Horwitz's book - A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World. Tony Horwitz believes most Americans are confused about American history. It's almost like they think Christopher Columbus sailed to America, dropped off the Pilgrims and sailed home. When he began pondering his own knowledge of the founding of America by Europeans he realised that he'd 'mislaid an entire century'.

What a load of garbage. If you hate the European exploitation give up your cars and computers and become a hunter gatherer. As for murder, the Native Americans often fought each other to the death and practiced genocide. The Iroquois slaughtered the Huron, the Carribe massacred the Taino. We are not "obsessed" with the Founding Fathers, we are grateful to them because despite their imperfections, they founded a society that could grow, prosper and offer opportunity to the rest of the world.
