  1. Some things never change

  2. I know a Kansas historian arguing that Bleeding Kansas didn't happen. There were at most 4 dozen murders over the course of a decade which included no authority figures, but the 1950s a movie staring Ronald Reagan of all people presented as fact high attritional losses of army officers because of assassination that simply never happened, not even once.

  3. The problem with this video is the hoaxes of Sam Clemins are widely known, there was even a Bonanza episode on it. Videos on hoaxes some people still believe would be appreciated, like the myth of men getting rich selling shovels during a gold rush. The reality was it was so expensive to haul goods across the frontier that those men were just as liable as the miners to go bankrupt.

  5. Manifest Destiny is itself a hoax, and the lawless period of the west started when the first humans got there.
