About this episode
The episode critiques the traditional narrative taught about the post-Civil War era and its negative impact on the economy and opportunities for younger generations.
The story we all learn in school about the era after the Civil War is ALL WRONG and this LIE is destroying our economy and reducing opportunity for all of us. Young people under the age of 40 are going to have to turn this around. Too many people above the age of 40 are too far gone. They have simply consumed too much propaganda to be redeemed.
