The Tom Woods Show, episode 133.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Folks, let's face it, the public school is the American church,

and if you oppose it, you are an incorrigible heretic.

Well, I've written a free e-book for all you good heretics out there called Education Without the State.

Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here, talking today about General John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff,

and his comments about the Civil War or whatever

name you want to use to refer to it. And it's not because I'm a big fan of General Kelly.

It's just that this is an item that was in the news a bit last week and it has to do with history

and I have some degrees in history and the

podcast has to do with history to some degree. So I thought, let's talk about that. What he had

to say about the Civil War and the possibility that a lack of compromise may have led to it

or that there might have been some way around it, which was not a particularly

controversial view for a while, but the herd of historians came down upon him. And he also said

that Robert E. Lee was an admirable guy. So he's now super cheeky because he's now taking a

view shared by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, which is now also not allowed. Just crazy. It's really a story

about the evolution of American society. Well, joining me to talk about this, and in fact,

the guy who really had the idea and pushed this on me, and I'm glad he did, is our old friend

Kevin Goodsman, with whom I wrote the book, Who Killed the Constitution?

Kevin is a professor of history at Western Connecticut State University.
