So /pol/ I'm taking AP US History this coming year and was assigned this book to read over the summer
I'm only two paragraphs in and I can already tell I'm going to have a bad time
How do I hinder or stop the inevitable liberal brainwashing?

It's slightly left leaning, but I really wouldn't consider it "brainwashing". Just take what he says with a grain of salt.

It's not really. Zinn even talks about how communism almost destroyed the pilgrims, who where only saved by capitalism

Is it lies my teacher told me? I read that for apush a long time ago. Also enjoy your ban.

I could just be really fucking stupid
>>74484744
Get out summer fag. You little children ruin this board

If you feel compelled to read more than one history book, you aren't brainwashed. Always hear more than one side of a story.

Zinn is a long time Marxist and communist. It well known that he held far left political positions and when I read that for ap us he made no attempt to hide such biases in his work. I believe online a paper or study was published where they found close to 500+ clear historical errors in his work. Of that is the only book your reading for the class it's brain washing. If you are reading a different book from that leans right then you get both parts of the spectrum. That book is trash tbqh

Dear OP what you are saying is true, when I took American History I remember having this feeling of total bullshit and slant. I couldn't put my finger on it.
This was before I was red-pilled, and I loved greek and European history world history.
US history is just slanted and filled with things, that the people who won wanted to have down for history along with a liberal slant, and the more liberal your teacher is the more slant they will add.
Fucking use quizlet and just figure out what you need to do good. That is all, give them what they want.
it is hard to un-redpill yourself.

Just read it. It's actually really good.
If you can ask to read to primary source companion instead, iirc it's Voices of a Peoples History.
