Real History with Matt Walsh

The American Civil War fundamentally transformed our nation. 600,000 American dead. Battle scars that still divide us today. But how much of what you’ve been taught is a lie? In this explosive documentary, Matt Walsh shatters the biggest and most enduring myths about the Civil War. What were they really fighting about? Why weren’t Confederate leaders put on trial? Why did Robert E. Lee become a heroic, unifying figure for decades after the war? And why are so many blue haired freaks tearing down his statues today? Through extensive research, and relying on primary source documents, Walsh confronts the cartoon version of history head on. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about America's defining war.

Since the 1990s, America's classrooms have turned Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks into sacred Civil Rights icons. But what if almost everything you were taught about them was wrong? In this shocking episode, Matt Walsh dismantles the mainstream myths about the Civil Rights movement and delivers a history lesson that didn't make it into the public school textbooks. Who really funded the movement? Was it truly non-violent? Was 1950s America the racist hellscape we're told it was? What do Selma and Birmingham look like today after decades of "progress"? And did the Civil Rights Act actually help Black Americans or did it fundamentally rewrite the Constitution in ways we’re still paying for? This is The Real History of Civil Rights Part 1: A New Constitution. Watch now and discover the real history that isn't taught in school.
