Hey /his/, what's a good resource for learning about American

>>1698431
How good are your critical thinking skills/how much exposure have you had to historiography?

maybe you could start by not calling everything a "meme" like every other retarded child on this site does nowadays

"Meme" is actually a technical term by famed scientist Richard Dawkins.

Despite its meme reputation, People's History is a very good book.

>>1698888
It absolutely is not. Large sections of it are trash, Zinn lets his biases run amok.

>I'm an American
so far so good
>what I know about the founding fathers or our nation is based on memes and old memories from childhood history
yes, they are actually much more badass and American in nature than youd believe man

I meant "meme" in the actual sense of the word, as in, something that's not true, just assumed to be because everyone was taught it, or heard it before, like the whole "Christopher Columbus found America by accident" meme.

A stale and flavorless topic for an American, if you ask me. I find outside histories much more engaging.

albion's seeds covers the founding extremely well

you're never going to get a decent education on post-civil war america, though, unless you're willing to dive all the way down the rabbit hole.

if you want proof that everyone's head is thoroughly fucked regarding the structure of the american government, just look at the obvious problems we have and the complete inability to fix any of them

if you want to understand modern american history you're going to have to relearn everything you think you know about law and economy going all the way back to the enlightenment in geneva
