Told in the visual and tonal style of a children's book, this collection uses irony, innocence, and dark humor to expose the dangerous simplicity of \"feel-good\" history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough a series of short, fictionalized vignettes inspired by real events, Sanitizing History reintroduces readers to the people and systems often portrayed as honorable, decent, or god-fearing, yet whose actions reveal the cruelty and contradiction embedded in America's story. From plantation overseers and preachers to policymakers and pioneers, each entry presents the sanitized version first, allowing readers to confront the ugly truth that polite language and revisionist storytelling have long tried to erase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt once provocative and deeply human, this book challenges readers to consider how national myths are built and who pays the cost for their preservation.
