They told you slavery was America's unique sin. They lied. Matt Walsh exposes how African kingdoms enslaved millions, Islamic pirates raided Europe for white slaves, and the East African trade dwarfed the Atlantic. The truth about who enslaved whom, and who actually ended it. This is the real history of slavery.
What do Snow White, Cinderella, and smallpox blankets have in common? They’re all fairytales. In this shocking episode of “Real History,” Matt Walsh rips apart the myth of peaceful, noble Indians who were supposedly victimized by evil white settlers. Matt takes on the biggest mainstream myths and left-wing shibboleths about the settling of the American West. It’s time to ditch the self-loathing propaganda designed to demoralize us and replace it with raw, unfiltered history that radical academics and Hollywood don't want you to see.
The American Civil War fundamentally transformed our nation. 600,000 American dead. Battle scars that still divide us today. But how much of what you’ve been taught is a lie? In this explosive documentary, Matt Walsh shatters the biggest and most enduring myths about the Civil War. What were they really fighting about? Why weren’t Confederate leaders put on trial? Why did Robert E. Lee become a heroic, unifying figure for decades after the war? And why are so many blue haired freaks tearing down his statues today? Through extensive research, and relying on primary source documents, Walsh confronts the cartoon version of history head on. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about America's defining war.
Since the 1990s, America's classrooms have turned Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks into sacred Civil Rights icons. But what if almost everything you were taught about them was wrong? In this shocking episode, Matt Walsh dismantles the mainstream myths about the Civil Rights movement and delivers a history lesson that didn't make it into the public school textbooks. Who really funded the movement? Was it truly non-violent? Was 1950s America the racist hellscape we're told it was? What do Selma and Birmingham look like today after decades of "progress"? And did the Civil Rights Act actually help Black Americans or did it fundamentally rewrite the Constitution in ways we’re still paying for? This is The Real History of Civil Rights Part 1: A New Constitution. Watch now and discover the real history that isn't taught in school.
In this eye-opening episode of Real History, Matt Walsh uncovers the real (and mostly ignored) consequences of the Civil Rights Movement: and reveals that you can draw a direct line from Martin Luther King Jr. to modern wokeness. What began as a moral crusade against segregation lead to something radically different: a fundamentally transformed nation, a new constitutional order, and a transformation of the high-trust, cohesive society we used to have into the divided nation we live in today. The sweeping civil rights regime was never put to a popular vote and lacked broad public. It was imposed on us anyways, through activist courts, federal bureaucrats, and administrative expansion. The result? A parallel system of law that effectively superseded the original Constitution, elevating group rights over individual liberty and redefining ordinary Americans as second-class citizens in their own country.
