À propos de cet audio
A renowned historian debunks current distortion and myths about European colonialism in the New World and restores much needed balance to our understanding of the past.
Was America really “stolen” from the Indians? Was Columbus a racist? Were Indians really peace-loving, communistic environmentalists? Did Europeans commit “genocide” in the New World? It seems that almost everyone—from CNN to the New York Times to angry students pulling down statues of our founders—believes that America’s history is a shameful tale of racism, exploitation, and cruelty.
In Not Stolen, renowned historian Jeff Fynn-Paul systematically dismantles this relentlessly negative view of U.S. history, arguing that it is based on shoddy methods, misinformation, and outright lies about the past. America was not “stolen” from the Indians but fairly purchased piece by piece in a thriving land market. Nor did European settlers cheat, steal, murder, rape or purposely infect them with smallpox to the extent that most people believe. No genocide occurred—either literal or cultural—and the decline of Native populations over time is not due to violence but to assimilation and natural demographic processes.
Fynn Paul not only debunks these toxic myths, but provides a balanced portrait of this complex historical process over 500 years. The real history of Native and European relations will surprise you. Not only is this not a tale of shameful sins and crimes against humanity—it is more inspiring than you ever dared to imagine.

Great critique of woke & leftist propaganda
Near perfect.
However, Flynn-Paul fails to fully understand the Residential School issue in Canada.
E.g. he repeats the famous but fake quote “kill the Indian in the child.”
E.g. children were not “taken” from their homes. None “went missing” since all Indian children were registered & attendance & deaths recorded.
The “missing children” narrative is built on numerous factors, such as:
-tribes often had no burial tradition
-grave markers were wooden & tribes abandoned or “lost” graveyards
-they misunderstood medical treatments (like quarantine) & why some kids died (mostly due to TB)
-Indians have been incentivised by billions of dollars compensation & political power to make outrageous & lurid claims about mass sexual abuse & mass murders, which have rarely been investigated nor proven in court
-many Canadian Indian claims followed the pattern of “Satanic Ritual Abuse” hysteria (including the dynamics of suggestion & false memory) that started in the 1980’s on the heels of cult murders in the 60’s,horror movies in the 70’s & “video nasties” in the 80’s.
-the baseless stories have been bolstered by a legitimising narrative, endless apologies & compensation, & other leftist concepts such as “believe the victim”.
-the oral “testimony” of so called Indian “Knowledge Keepers” seems to have solidified this anti-Western narrative into Post-Canada’s version of history.
In Post-Canada, the primitive tradition of “oral history” is taken as an unquestionable & “sacred” fact, regardless of contrary evidence or lack of supporting evidence.
But the weakest section of the book (about Residential Schools) is understandable given the focus on the USA.
