Americans came to love stories of the old South. And of course it's there in Gone with the Wind, the most, still maybe the most famous movie ever made. Most of the miseries of the world were caused by wars. And when the wars were over, no one ever knew what they were about. So the Lost Cause was both a political movement, it was a literary movement, but it was at its core a racial ideology.

And it lasted a very long time. Now that was a version of history.

That's a very good question. And my, my instinctive answer is partly my wishful answer is that no, he won't. It is not subtle. You're right. They're wiping out websites. They are explicitly saying professional history, whether it's in our greatest museums or our greatest university has been teaching us all the wrong ways. They've been dividing us. This is the word they love to use.

The history we write has been divisive, divisive, divisive. Well, no, it's not. It's simply informative. Sometimes it gets people riled up and sometimes it gets them arguing and sometimes fighting. But what the Trumpists are doing is they are telling us that they know better.

policy people at the Heritage Foundation or pseudo historians who think that studying all this stuff about race, studying all this stuff about gender, studying all this stuff about all the ethnicities that make us up, all this pluralism, is just taking away from American greatness. And they use that term a lot. We're no longer teaching our youth about American greatness. Yes, we are.

We're teaching our youth that our greatness is in the pluralism. Our greatness is in the amazing strivings and triumphs of all kinds of people in the past who challenged power. What will you know about World War I if you try to find nothing but greatness? What will you know about the history of imperialism and expansion if all you want to know is about greatness?

What will you actually know about Native American history if all you look for is greatness? It defies the intelligence of anyone with an education and a whole lot of people who don't have a lot of formal education. I'm not very optimistic right now about what's going on, but I do have a certain faith that people just aren't going to buy this.
