One Nation, Under Gods: A New American History | Peter Manseau

Sage advice from the founder of what would become the state of Maryland. If we could all stop trying to shove our own beliefs down others‘ throats, maybe we could all get along a little better. Especially seeing that it‘s the shovers who have problems with the neighbours, while their neighbours generally ignore them.

One Nation, Under Gods: A New American History | Peter Manseau

Oh look at that, people of faiths other than Christian have been in this country just as long as the Christians. Check that out. Love how this is left out of the white, male, Protestant narrative they call K-12 (and most basic college level) American “history.” 🙄 Never mind the “godless” peoples they found did in fact have faith systems of their own even before that.

GingerAntics Never mind that at least half of Christopher Columbus‘s crew was NOT Christian (Jewish or Islamic). Just putting that out there. #tolerance #religioustolerance #religiousfreedom 6y

julesG It's infuriating that these things are swept under the carpet. 6y

GingerAntics @julesG that‘s America for you. If it‘s not white, male, and Protestant, it‘s not important. Texas, the state I live in, considered removing Hillary Clinton from history curriculum because she didn‘t have historical relevance. 🙄 FFS Just the first woman to be a major party presidential candidate. Oh no, that might make little girls think they can be president one day!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 6y

julesG 😵😵😵 6y

GingerAntics @julesG yup...most of who they wanted to cut were women, if they were men they weren‘t white men, of course. 🙄 In the end, there was so much backlash I don‘t think they cut anyone, but that‘s how this country views anyone who isn‘t white, male, and Protestant. It‘s ridiculous. It‘s unfortunately the rule, not the exception. 6y

julesG So they would have cut out Obama? 6y

GingerAntics @julesG he wasn‘t on the list. He actually was president so they couldn‘t cut him. 6y

GingerAntics @julesG they were proposing to cut more women then men, but the few men were mostly Native American/First Nations people and Hispanic. For better or worse they‘re stuck with Obama now. They may paint his presidency as the worst in history, but he‘ll be there. 6y

julesG 🙈 Ignorant people. 😬 6y

GingerAntics @julesG yup...it‘s probably why most men who find out I‘m a historian assume that I must be into women‘s history. 🙄 Not all men study men‘s history you twats. Get a brain. People are so ignorant, and they‘re cool with that. I think that‘s the scariest part. They think it‘s totally acceptable. 6y
