Wiki: Killers of the Flower Moon[a] is a 2023 American epic Western crime drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Martin Scorsese. Eric Roth and Scorsese based their screenplay on the 2017 non-fiction book by David Grann.[7][8] Set in 1920s Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was discovered on tribal land. The tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, but a corrupt local political boss sought to steal the wealth. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone lead an ensemble cast. Hashtags: #history #killersoftheflowermoon #OsageMurders #review #basedonatruestory

Wiki: The Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Spearheaded by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), it was implemented primarily through the mass murder of around one million Armenians during death marches to the Syrian Desert and the forced Islamization of others, primarily women and children.

Wiki: A moral panic is a widespread feeling of fear, often an irrational one, that some evil person or thing threatens the values, interests, or well-being of a community or society. It is "the process of arousing social concern over an issue", usually perpetuated by moral entrepreneurs and mass media coverage, and exacerbated by politicians and lawmakers. Moral panic can give rise to new laws aimed at controlling the community.

And you know who’s to blame for that? It’s these scholars injecting identity politics into everything. If history is the story of us, as Cypher always says, then why do I have to hear about all these unamerican things like race, class, and gender? What happened to our heroes? Well, I’ll tell you. History is woke now. It has nothing to do with my unwillingness to interrogate what actually happened. That’s why I don’t need citations. Verifiability is for the weak. The wokesters are the real cowards for using Critical Race Theory to make me feel bad about being white. They try to push their betters away by enforcing diversity, equity, and inclusion on everyone.

Wiki: Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical drama film[5][6][7] written for the screen and directed by Christopher Nolan.[8] It stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles the career of Oppenheimer, with the story predominantly focusing on his studies, his direction of the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. The film also stars Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife "Kitty", Matt Damon as head of the Manhattan Project Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as United States Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss, and Florence Pugh as Oppenheimer's communist lover Jean Tatlock. The ensemble supporting cast includes Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

There is no clear starting point. One could say that the war began with the first American death in 1945, when Viet Minh forces mistakenly shot an OSS officer after WWII had ended; or you could say it was 1950, when President Truman officially supported the old regime that would become South Vietnam; there was 1955, when President Eisenhower sent in military advisors; 1962 with JFK sending Green Berets in massive numbers; or 1964 with LBJ ramping up the already established mission to full-scale warfare. The beginning of American involvement in the Vietnam War could be any of those dates and more. If you let a camel stick its nose under the tent, eventually it will insist on being completely within the tent. America is the camel here. We stuck our nose in, and bit by bit, we became fully entangled. It took so much blood and treasure there and here to dislodge ourselves again, forever changing not just American and Vietnamese history, but how the world arranged power.

Wiki: United States involvement in the Vietnam War began shortly after the end of World War II in Asia, first in an extremely limited capacity and escalating over a period of 20 years. The U.S. military presence peaked in April 1969, with 543,000 American combat troops stationed in Vietnam.[1] By the conclusion of the United States's involvement in 1973, over 3.1 million Americans had been stationed in Vietnam.

Wiki: The Sixty Years' War (French: Guerre de Soixante Ans; 1754–1815) was a military struggle for control of the North American Great Lakes region, including Lake Champlain and Lake George,[1] encompassing a number of wars over multiple generations. The conflicts involved the British Empire, the French colonial empire, the United States, the Spanish Empire, and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The term Sixty Years' War is used by academic historians to provide a framework for viewing this era as a whole, rather than as isolated events

Wiki: There Will Be Blood is a 2007 American period drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, loosely based on the 1927 novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair.[4] It stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a silver miner turned oilman on a ruthless quest for wealth during Southern California's oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Race is not as simple as epidural coloration or any phenotype for that matter. These racial borders are easily crossed and don’t even precisely map onto skintone nor anything deeper. Afterall, I do not become a different race by getting a good tan. Race is not biologically derived and indeed has a history to its social construction. Racialization is a distinct historical process. It has a story to it with consequences. This episode is ultimately about how race became a thing, as in how society constructed the ideology behind this abstract category

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821) was a French military commander and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804, then of the French Empire as Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and briefly again in 1815. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy endures as a celebrated and controversial leader. He initiated many liberal reforms that have persisted through the years, and is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history

Race, class, and gender studies came to dominate the field. Much of revisionism is about raising the voices of historical characters previously silenced by nationalist history. Nationalism violently imposed racism, exploitation, and misogyny. Historicizing the meaning of those who were hegemonic within orthodoxy, namely white cis heterosexual males who were rich, challenged that violent nationalism

The Trial of the Chicago Seven had so much potential. The court transcript is replete with drama and easy to adapt, yet this movie fails at it. I don’t know what went wrong here, but it was a tremendous let down. I’ve been trying to focus on good movies, but my patrons voted for this on Patreon, so I slogged through it. Honestly, I wish I could have just thrown it aside. When a 1987 made-for-TV movie outdoes this well-funded production, you know something is a-miss. The true story is very compelling, because the ten people on the defense team became martyrs for freedom of speech as a result of this trial. The Nixon administration tried to silence protestors and they went to prison for it, like patriots. They turned the court into a circus because there was no other way to redress their grievances, showing what civil disobedience looks like.

Wiki: The Chicago Seven, originally the Chicago Eight and also known as the Conspiracy Eight or Conspiracy Seven, were seven defendants - Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, John Froines, Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and Lee Weiner - charged by the United States Department of Justice with conspiracy, crossing state lines with intent to incite a riot, and other charges related to anti-Vietnam War and 1960s counterculture protests in Chicago, Illinois during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The Chicago Eight became the Chicago Seven after the case against co-defendant Bobby Seale was declared a mistrial.

Silicon Valley is not a clearly defined place. It could be just Palo Alto or as far away as the rest of the southern Bay Area, from Berkeley all the way around to San Francisco. The main thing is that the region is the center of the technological renaissance in microchip and internet innovation. Its postwar ascension came from government investment and eventually venture capital as technology revolutionized our world.

San Luis Obispo, or SLO for short, is a small city near and dear to my heart, not only because it's one of my hometowns, but because I've done so much work on the history here. After all, my dissertation has a chapter on it and my entire masters thesis is about the place. And it goes much deeper than that, for my father was a museum director here. You could say SLO's history is in my veins.

Wiki: Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (/ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ ROH-zə-velt;[b] October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919), often referred to as Teddy or by his initials, T. R., was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies.

Museums are an important and oft forgotten part of the history profession. These institutions are key factors in how locales understand and interpret their own existence. There are huge responsibilities that come with that public service. Museum work is a noble task, worthy of praise, but that cannot blind us to the problems that arise from taking on that goal. Some abuse that in favor of affirming their core biases and it takes a keen eye to find it. The Alamo and Nixon Library are fairly good examples of this problem which teaches us something deeper about how history is written. Along the way, perhaps you can learn about what museums do and why they are an integral part of society.

It’s possible to read a history book in a couple days, if you know how to dissect it for the argument. The title indicates the topic. The publisher shows the intended audience and rigor. Table of contents gives a sense of structure. And bibliography shows what other works it is in conversation with. Start reading by trying to find the thesis statement, as in the core argument, and what purpose that argument is meant to achieve. Then look for how those claims will be logically supported with evidence. Then you can dig into those claims using the index to find specifics. Read whatever else helps you understand that argument. If you’d like to see this method in action, be sure to watch my book club livestreams.

The Woman King seems like a strange movie for me to review. Everyone was clowning on it because of how inaccurate the premise is, so why even subject myself to that? Well firstly, the Agojie or Amazons of Dahomey are a fascinating topic. For real they are the only time in recorded history of real life Amazons, as in a warrior class composed of only women. Even more interesting, they existed during the hey-dey of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on the Ivory Coast. Indeed, their existence was predicated on that, as we will see.

Wiki: The Woman King is a 2022 American drama about the Agojie, the all-female warrior unit that protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey during the 17th to 19th centuries. Set in the 1820s, the film stars Viola Davis as a general who trains the next generation of warriors to fight their enemies. It is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and written by Dana Stevens, based on a story she wrote with Maria Bello. The film also stars Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and John Boyega.

California is often called the "Left Coast" because of it favoring the Democratic Party, but it has not always been that way, nor arguable an apt descriptor even today. The Golden State had a tumultuous time getting to this political status. California has determined and been affected by national politics of both parties and sides of the political spectrum. This is episode 11 of my california history series. Here is the rest of the series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnwpaclU4wUD7y8912ViyAtGfraKi9ru

Wiki: Left Coast is a political expression that implies that the West Coast of the United States leans politically to the left or the expression can refer to states that lean politically left. The implication is that with the exception of Alaska, the states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii tend to vote for the Democratic Party, particularly in Coastal California. In the United States, the expression is used pejoratively by right-leaning people, but proudly by people on the left

Colleges being a “waste of time” is not because the degrees are economically worthless, but because the job market as a whole has become so terrible. It’s a post hoc ergo proctor hoc fallacy - as in you are reversing cause and effect. Colleges and universities used to be far cheaper or completely free; jobs have become either gigs, part-time, or had stagnant wages for decades; and yet people keep getting priced out of their own lives. Higher education is not supposed to be completely vocational and liberal arts degrees are intended to show broader acculturation, not specific applicable skills. College doesn’t prepare you for the workplace, nothing but actually working can. This foolish notion is only a recent evasion of the real problem: neoliberalism and how it’s destroyed our economy.

The Civil War was the worst war in American history. The Confederacy seceded from the United States in order to preserve slavery, leading to 4 years of modern warfare the likes we have never seen. In the process the US defined what freedom meant as a nation.

Wiki: The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 9, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union (states that remained loyal to the federal union,[e] or "the North") and the Confederacy (states that voted to secede, or "the South").[f] The central cause of the war was the status of slavery, especially the expansion of slavery into territories acquired as a result of the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican–American War.[14] On the eve of the Civil War in 1860, four million of the 32 million Americans (~13%) were enslaved black people, almost all in the South.[15]
The practice of slavery in the United States was one of the key political issues of the 19th century. Decades of political unrest over slavery led up to the Civil War. Disunion came after Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 United States presidential election on an anti-slavery expansion platform. An initial seven southern slave states declared their secession from the country to form the Confederacy. Confederate forces seized federal forts within territory they claimed. The last-minute Crittenden Compromise tried to avert conflict but failed; both sides prepared for war. Fighting broke out in April 1861 when the Confederate army began the Battle of Fort Sumter in South Carolina, just over a month after the first inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states (out of the 34 U.S. states in February 1861), and asserted claims to two more. Both sides raised large volunteer and conscription armies. Four years of intense combat, mostly in the South, ensued.

Wiki: Slavery’s western expansion created problems for the United States from the very start. Battles emerged over the westward expansion of slavery and over the role of the federal government in protecting the interests of enslavers. Northern workers felt that slavery suppressed wages and stole land that could have been used by poor white Americans to achieve economic independence. Southerners feared that without slavery’s expansion, the abolitionist faction would come to dominate national politics and an increasingly dense population of enslaved people would lead to bloody insurrection and race war. Constant resistance from enslaved men and women required a strong pro-slavery government to maintain order. As the North gradually abolished human bondage, enslaved men and women headed north on an underground railroad of hideaways and safe houses. Northerners and southerners came to disagree sharply on the role of the federal government in capturing and returning these freedom seekers. While northerners appealed to their states’ rights to refuse to capture people escaping slavery, white southerners demanded a national commitment to slavery. Enslaved laborers meanwhile remained vitally important to the nation’s economy, fueling not only the southern plantation economy but also providing raw materials for the industrial North. Differences over the fate of slavery remained at the heart of American politics, especially as the United States expanded. After decades of conflict, Americans north and south began to fear that the opposite section of the country had seized control of the government. By November 1860, an opponent of slavery’s expansion arose from within the Republican Party. During the secession crisis that followed, fears nearly a century in the making at last devolved into bloody war.
