“Rewriting History: The Left’s Assault on American Heritage” Since taking office, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed the far-left to push an agenda that seeks to erase and rewrite our nation’s history. Local governments, driven by progressive ideologies, have continued removing 100’s of statues and monuments that honor American figures and heritage.

This is interesting that the US has an extensive selection of colonies, although not always called that. Remarqueable is the notion that states that were added to the US could only be added needed to have a majority of white people, otherwise this state would not be added to the United States.

Rather toxic way to work with their colonies and other lands where it has powerful influence! “How to Hide an Empire”: Daniel Immerwahr on the History of the Greater United States. “How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States.” That’s the title of a new book examining a part of the U.S. that is often overlooked: the nation’s overseas territories from Puerto Rico to Guam, former territories like the Philippines, and its hundreds of military bases scattered across the globe. We speak with the book’s author, Daniel Immerwahr, who writes, “At various times, the inhabitants of the U.S. Empire have been shot, shelled, starved, interned, dispossessed, tortured and experimented on. What they haven’t been, by and large, is seen.” Immerwahr is an associate professor of history at Northwestern University. https://lnkd.in/e2uGRWjX
