Lecture 14 Doing History Yourself

You will get the most from this course by reading or listening to Professor Loewen’s book, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. Within that book are many facts about American (and world) history to which most people have simply never been exposed. Nationalist history by textbook authors and the descendants or biographers of the famous and infamous have given history students a very skewed vision of our true history—indeed, the true history of mankind.

This course is designed to enlighten and encourage you to consider the factual basis of many of our most-cherished yet glossed-over stories and the real-life characters who populate them. From archaeological misinformation to investigations into the nature of modern public policy, Professor Loewen challenges you to consider the history of what “was” rather than what has been told by standard teaching methods and textbooks.

This is history revealed. This is history as it was made, not as it is usually taught by well-meaning, but misdirected, teachers. Go back in time and recover what has been “lost.” The historical truth helps to make sense of our present circumstances as Americans and for our future as world citizens.
