The last few years have awakened many people to just how much we have been lied to. And this realization is causing many on the Right to reevaluate our understanding of history to see what went wrong. This is leading to some productive discussions…and some other discussions that are becoming quite dark. Today we address three points in history to ask the question “Does the revisionist narrative have a point?” Get ready as we question Winston Churchill’s legacy, Franco and the Spanish Civil War and Decolonization and Rhodesia.
