Lies My Teacher Told Me-Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong
In Lies My Teacher Told Me,Professor James W.Loewen explains the facts that your high school American History textbook was incorrect about. Loewen explains that while most high school American History textbooks say that the "New World" was founded in New York,if it were not for Squanto in Massachusetts,there would be no such holiday as Thanksgiving.
