The War on Our History
Confederate memorials toppled . . . Columbus statues attacked with red paint.
They started with slave-owning Confederate generals, but they’re not stopping there.
The vandals are only pretending to care about the character of particular American heroes. In reality, they hate what those heroes represent: the truths asserted in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Constitution. And they are bent on taking America down and replacing our free society with a socialist utopia. All that stands in their way is Americans’ reverence for our history of freedom.
Which is why that history simply has to go.
Now, Jarrett Stepman, editor at The Daily Signal and host of Right Side of History, exposes the true aims of the war on our history:
The war on America: World history is full of conquests and suffering indigenous peoples. Why target Christopher Columbus? What they really want to tear down is America. The war on Thanksgiving: World history is full of colonists. Why target the Pilgrims? What they really want to tear down is American freedom and prosperity. The war on the Founding: World history is full of slavery. Why target Thomas Jefferson? What they really want to tear down are the rights endowed by our Creator. The war on the common man: World history is full of victorious generals and populist politicians. Why target Andrew Jackson? What they really want to tear down is democracy. The war on the South: World history is full of civil strife. Why target Confederate heroes like Robert E. Lee? What they really want to tear down is respect for America’s past and the reconciliation that renewed our Union. The war on patriotism: World history is full of national pride. Why target Teddy Roosevelt? What they really want to tear down is the idea of American greatness. The war on the American century: World history is full of bloody wars. What they really want to tear down is America’s defeat of totalitarianism.
If America is to survive this assault, we must rally to the defense of our illustrious history. The War on History is the battle plan.

The history of Americaâs greatness. Finally! A book that gives us the background information needed to challenge the current misconceptions about our history.Thank you , Mr Stepman!
Why American institutions are moral and worth preserving Jarrett is a phenomenal historian and a great story teller with the ability to break down complex topics in layman’s terms. His book is the ammo you need to defend America’s institutions against the campaign to fundamentally transform our Republic.
A well written book! This book is an excellent take on the reasons behind the attacks on American history, and provides a serious and spirited defense of the country’s past. The author is particularly good at getting to the heart of why Americans came to celebrate and admire people like Columbus and Thomas Jefferson–pointing out their flaws, but explaining why their legacy is worthy of saving. I couldn’t recommend “The War on History” enough.
