Founding fathers of the U.S talked about Americans as a separate and new people. I prefer Roman history to American mostly because huge amounts of American history are fake/propaganda, but I vaguely recall that the overwhelming focus on the individual over all else is a product of the late 19th century progressives rather than the founders. Although maybe that’s fake too?

After reading the bit on German orphans, I’m Surprised Germany doesn’t have its own gary plauche.

Excellent as always. Thank you.

I’ll quickly add since it’s this Monday, the revolt against Columbus Day, and Columbus in general, is a perfect example of how fake American history is.
