Summary

In today’s episode, we talk about the real history of Thanksgiving—the one your public school teachers conveniently skipped. Seth is joined by Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders and one of the nation’s sharpest historians of America’s founding, to uncover the truth behind this holiday. Together, they explore the longest-lasting peace treaty in American history between Native Americans and the early settlers—an astonishing chapter of unity and providence that modern progressive culture has tried desperately to bury. As America is repeatedly framed as uniquely evil or irredeemable, this conversation brings the miraculous, God-soaked origins of our republic back to life.

0:00.0	The Pilgrims end up signing a peace treaty with Chief Massasoit. It was the longest lasting peace treaty between any white people and any natives in American history. There has never been a peace treaty that lasted longer than the one the pilgrims had. You see the lies too of the radical left? No, it's actually those who know their history. Pilgrims inspired by the Bible. Governor Bradford said they would read from the Bible every day, and some days they would read six to eight hours a day from the Bible.
0:22.8	The pilgrims were known as people of the book,
0:25.2	and so everything they did, they tried to do it as biblically as possible.
0:48.2	So... Do you know the true history of Thanksgiving?
0:49.8	Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.
0:57.7	Did you know Thanksgiving marks the start of the longest lasting peace treat in American history between natives and white people? I bet you didn't learn that at your public school.
1:03.7	That's all right. I went to a public guy school too. Tim Barton, Tim Barton, president of wall builders
1:08.6	and renowned historian of America's founding,
1:11.6	joins me today to show the real truth about Thanksgiving and how our nation was birthed.
1:16.6	We dive into this incredible story because our progressive culture has been working overtime,
1:23.4	trying to deem America's past as uniquely evil and irredeemable.
1:28.9	This conversation is an absolute blast.
1:31.9	Tim Barton might be able to speak longer, just stream of consciousness, than almost anyone else I've met.
1:40.3	Because he's such a wealth of knowledge.
1:42.1	And he brings the providential story of America's
1:45.7	beginnings, the seedling of our republic, to life. As we've been told from every facet of society
1:52.8	and education that Thanksgiving is actually a national day of morning now. No, the providential
2:00.6	presence of God in this nation's founding is pretty difficult
2:07.7	to argue against. And it's a story that needs to be told before you go stuff your
2:12.7	faithful of turkey today. Happy Thanksgiving, guys. I hope you're all having a blessed day with friends and family.
2:19.3	Or maybe you're just cutting that second piece of pumpkin cheesecake sitting down and you put on
2:26.0	the Seth Gruber show. Welcome to the glorious history of this nation. Happy Thanksgiving.
