Sample key takeaways:
- The history books given to children in the United States all started with the heroic adventure of Christopher Columbus. The truth is that the arrival of the Europeans in the Americas 500 years ago was more of an invasion that resulted in slavery and the genocide of indigenous people.
- The quiet acceptance of conquest and murder in the name of progress is only one aspect of a certain approach to history, in which the past is told from the point of view of governments, conquerors, diplomats, and leaders instead of victims.
- All this bloodshed and deceit might be acceptable to the middle and upper classes of the conquering countries. To them, it was a necessity for the human race to progress from savagery to civilization. That progress, however, only benefited the privileged and robbed the victims of any sort of freedom.
