Who owns America's history? Well, for now the progressives do.
Progressives do not want to discuss their history. I want to discuss their history.

There's a rather uninteresting article over at National Geographicthat puffs up rioters and sculptors. The real issue though is a little bit deeper than that.
American history is in fact naturally conservative. It's anti-statist, pro-individual, and and based on Judeo-Christian principles. Why so few conservatives play in this arena is beyond me given the natural advantages, but it is what it is.
The fact is, conservatives gave history to the progresives. Ever since Charles Beard started propagandizing the Founders with his 1913 "Economic Interpretation" (reinterpretation) of the Founders, the Progressives have set out on a century's-long journey to first misunderstand, then erase, then replace the Founders as something else entirely from what they actually were.
And they did it 100% unopposed. Nobody wanted to oppose them. That is why in an oversimplified but accurate way, progressives have come to own history and it happened simply by being the only team who showed up to play ball.
It's amazing what you can do when you don't have any opposition.
Comment:
You don’t get a tenured position with Universities being a onservative truthful historian.
I had to take a history course at Hunter College/NYU as part of my studies (I was a Chemistry major). Well, the only course that fit my schedule was some nonsensical class about Marxist social history.
I went to the first class, and that was it. For the rest of the semester I went to the chemistry lab instead. I belonged there anyway.
Ah, but I did take the final exam. It was an essay exam. I wrote exactly what I thought a Marxist professor would want to hear. Power to the people! I got an A. So I guess I’m an expert on the subject.
At a later date I immersed myself in researching the true history of America and was astonished at the truth and lies of the Progressive Marxist Leftist respresented under the many guises of Progressive. Liberal and of course Marxists within our country.
The PM/DSA Left continues to erase or rewrite American and World History and it's important that their lies be exposed and the truth be revealed.
Conservatives need their own historians. We need more recognition and awards for conservative achievers. There are very few corporations or cultural institutions that cater to conservatives. It seems like they all cater to the left.
