What if I told you that the Thanksgiving story we all grew up with—the Pilgrims, the feast, the peaceful gathering—was a lie?
No, not just a little fib. We’re talking revisionist history with a side of cranberry sauce.
On this extra credit episode Thanksgiving: The Turkey, the Lies, and the Leftovers of History, we’re serving up the raw, unfiltered truth behind America’s most celebrated feast. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, stolen land, and… propaganda.
From the mass devastation of Indigenous populations to the shady deals that landed the Pilgrims in Plymouth, this isn’t the Thanksgiving tale your textbooks wanted you to know
