Howard Zinn makes readers "Oohs" and "Ahhs" with his mind-blowing taste for story crafting. His informative words not only change our view of history, but they also change our view of the future. This is the story from the perspective of the people who lived it. Zinn tells it like it was; it tells us all the history we didn't learn in class, the history that was taken away to make the New York state curriculum easier to teach. This book tells the story with hard truths, not with fairy tales made up to please a group of people. Zinn put Christopher Columbus and other explorers on the spot with genocide, talked about presidents from Andrew Jackson to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and asserted injustice in the treatment of slaves using point of view. In the 1980 nonfiction novel, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn analyzes history by presenting many perspectives to his readers in an insightful manner that can be called by many "a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories A Peoples History of the United States presents an account of history told from the perspective of the slaves, the revolution... middle of the paper. ..States without concrete evidence to support his hypothesis of why our founding fathers and their fellow revolutionaries decided to declare independence from the British throne Flynn, and many other Americans agree, find Zinn's theory on the alternative reason for the founding of our country, offensive and offensive Zinn's approach to History may be new, innovative and flashy, but Zinn fails to back up his opinions with in-depth evidence. And although many Americans and critics have fallen in love with his work, this is due to his insight and Zinn's ability to connect with his readers, but it is not an adequate basis for teaching or expressing an opinion. This is not to say that one should side with Flynn in this debate, because both writers are radical and biased, like most authors. The only complete way to form a solid and confident opinion is to be well researched and educated on the topic.
