Civil Rights in the 60's were bad for black people m'kay?
Feminism: A one stop train to becoming a prostitute and hating families!
Because people killing each other in the Middle East is a GOOD thing.
Only rich white people can write good things.
BRITISH EMPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE fapfapfapfapfap
The USFG caused the Great depression. More specifically FDR.
Oh right, and capitalism had NOTHING to do with the Depression. At all.
The South WASN'T actually racist. Nope, they had Jesus on their side too. Also, you gave up your vacations in Cuba, you Yankee bastards.
Conservatives are the only real Americans! Everyone else is a dirty communist spy!
If you question the Bible, you question liberty and tolerance and reason.
Roman history is EXACTLY the same as US history. Also, the Middle Ages were the Age of Reason.
The Founding Fathers were conservatives. And totally supported the South in the Civil War, even though they were dead.
Evolution never happened!
And, of course... The US should be a Christian theocracy with slaves.
That's an insane podcast. The premise is to disagree with someone before you even know what they've said. How could you possibly trust such a publication to be intellectually honest?
Then I looked up the author bios and found that they co-wrote The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, a history book with a hilarious reputation for inaccuracy. Their bios are terrible, and this book is a great figurehead for their problems.
The colonies were not libertarian. Many actions taken against native Americans were anti-libertarian. However, many actions between Native American groups themselves were anti-libertarian.
How far back would you go? Multiple groups will have claims against the same lands? Should the Romans still control Carthage?
Tom Woods has a good response to this exact question following that from. Can't find it right now, but here is a good book if interested https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-American-History/dp/0895260476
> The Constitution of the United States did say this (sorry OP, but there are more countries than the United States on earth), but doesn't now. That's how amendments and court precedents work under Common Law. We also fought a war (see the first point) to ensure the freedom of those restricted by this edict. The war turned-out to be just, though the suspension of habeus corpus was abominable.
Is this what they taught you in history class in your public school? Embarrassing. The Civil War had little to do with freeing the slaves. If it did, why did the emancipation proclamation only free slaves in the southern rebellious states, and only years into the war? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation
But don't take these things by my word. Tom Woods will explain it for me: http://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-American-History/dp/0895260476

Book that put him on the map: The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History is a pretty good primer for non-statist history.
None are as familiar with US history as we think were are. It always seems I constantly stumble across a topic I am wholly ignorant of. If you are interested in American history, I would suggest you look to some counter-mainstream view of American history for a better picture of actual American history.
If I could suggest a couple books:
A Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
Read this book by Tom Woods:

Fewer decisions and more context than you asked for: The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History
Compared to a hundred years ago, our lower-class are equivalent to the middle-class. If people begin to starve and place the blame on the people in power, that's when we'll have a shot at the championship. The reason the great depression didn't end up like the Russian Revolution was because (near as I can tell) no-one blamed the government. Sucks, because some of those good ol' 'New Deal' policies are still screwing us over as of today.^1
