History Buffs

Historical Pictures? Documentaries? How about educational videos and articles? Have an opinion on a historical event you want to share? If it's from the past, it's welcome here! From the Creator: I'm not really expecting anyone to follow any rules other than basic respect for others. However, I ask that you keep posts as historically accurate as possible. This is a group about history, and while there will always be biased articles and documentaries, which I have no problem with, propaganda and conspiracy videos are things I would like to keep away from this group. Like I said previously, please just fact check and keep things as historically accurate as you can. Thank you. :)

Am I the only one who is getting deeply worried about what 'historical experts' are doing to HMS Victory. I am becoming increasingly worried that she will never again be the warship, that one can fully see , from the outside, with masts and rigging in place, that she always has been. She is, after all, the oldest Commissioned warship in the world.

Doug Casey on The Real Causes of The American War of Secession The standard narrative holds that the noble North, led by the saintly Abraham Lincoln, fought the evil South to free the slaves. Full stop. Now, more than any time in the past, that’s the whole story as far as most Americans are concerned. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2026/03/19/doug-casey-on-the-real-causes-of-the-american-war-of-secession/
