European settlers killed approximately 56 million indigenous people over about 100 years in South, Central and North America, causing large swaths of farmland to be abandoned and reforested, researchers at University College London, or UCL, estimate.Feb 2, 2019. That may not include all of those indigenous people who were infected and died from “new” illnesses brought to the continent by Europeans.
Florida in 2043: “Dad, I heard Black people were once enslaved here, is that true?” “Of course not son. Just read your Desantis authorized history book. We fed and housed Black people in exchange for doing a few chores.”
Historically speaking, Pinkish is right. However, the current re-write of history is being conducted by the biggest bunch of losers the world has ever known.
Except for the South in the American Civil War. The created the entire myth of States Rights and the Lost Cause, as well as many other lies. The South wrote their “history” before real history even began its investigation.
Actually New world history didn’t really start until the Europeans arrived, because Europeans had a written language developed to chronicle their history, and only some Native American tribes had systems of writing, such as pictographs or petroglyphs, but not alphabetic writing systems like those used in Europe. Plus victors do write usually write history.
The South was lucky the North did not do to them what so many conquerors have done in the past.
They can still fly the Confederate Battle Flag and and express their views, whereas most other countries in similar situations would consider them traitors and would have executed the lot of them, or drove them out of the country.
America would be a different place now if we had done that – but for once, history didn’t repeat itself.

The Western calendar has no “Year Zero”; 1 BC is followed by 1 AD! (But the Khmer Rouge did declare Year Zero when they took over Cambodia…)

Rob is not a loser just because he lets you blab your BS. However he gets close when he lets Bucky get in his head.

Still makes more sense than the revisionary dogma they brainwash kids with today.

History shows that the conquerors typically destroyed and erased all historical evidence of those they conquered.

How did migrants from across the Siberian land bridge get to become “native?”

Of course, all this was before the Internet. Now the Losers are pre-writing fake history.

Bucky states his case a bit more candidly, but in true thought provoking manner. Good one.
