The genocide of native Americans was 99% due to disease, not the Europeans, who are extremely lucky the reverse did not happen.

Zinn's history is an incredible piece of work, but if it's the only book on American history you read, you won't understand American history. It's supposed to be read like an amendment to the consensus view, not as a complete history in itself.

What does a Genoan explorer have to do with the United States? He wasn't even the first European to reach the Americas, that would be Leif Erikson.
Hunter Thomas
because he was the first white man to set up the system of white privilege and oppression that this KKKUNTRY was founded on, and persists to this day with donald klumfp

Columbus was actually a real shitter though, it's not revisionism. The same Isabela who presided over the spanish inquisition had him arrested for barbarism.
Amerigo was a bro though.

Native Americans KILLED NIETZSCHE
Also that's not so true in Columbus' case.
Inquisition wasn't so bad. Certainly no worse than COINTELPRO.

It's not really liberal to point out that people were cunts in the past

No, but it's associated with liberalism. They've got that whole progressive whigism thing, and conservatism has the whole worship-our-elders thing.

COINTELPRO was one of the greatest things to ever happen in American history. I hope Trump revives it

Good post. I wouldn't call it incredible, because the book really starts to lose focus (and any sense of neutrality) after WWII, but the book is a nice supplement to the "consensus history" that was built in the post-war years of the late 40s, 50s, and 60s by the likes of Richard Hofstadter and Daniel Boorstin. When Zinnia wrote this book in the latter half of the 70s, it was probably necessary, and continued to be so through the 80s and much of the 90s. Now that many of the book's most significant criticisms of the "consensus" view have been incorporated into that consensus, the book is mostly unnecessary.

Shit book

I thought this was like a meme book that history reddit didn't take seriously /???
yeah but Colombus was horrible. Like in his own time he got shit for being so brutal.

So what's a good book on American history for a non American ?
