As always, I cannot recommend enough that every American read sociologist and historian James W. Loewen’s important book, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong.

But if that’s not what happened, what did? In this episode Jasmine shares what she’s learned about the untold story of what actually happened during that harvest festival in...

They do this through such techniques as information overload, authoritative tone, heroification and lies of omission, just to name a few.
