Introduction to Analyzing Arguments: On Lies My Teacher Told Me
Lies My Teacher Told Me a nonfiction book by James W. Loewen goes over the topic of American history, and throughout the book explains and provides evidence as to how history in the US is glorified and ignores important pieces of information that would expose the flaws with many of US events, and VIPs. In addition, Loewen describes how American textbooks can often set back students, holding them from learning the truth about their country, the real way that history occurred. Loewen talks about a variety of people from US history, such as Christopher Columbus, and even Helen Keller, attempting to inform the readers of the not so pure background of these American figures.
