An excerpt from William Hogeland’s “Autumn of the Black Snake”

So, the revisionists would have us believe that the over-riding reason for American Independence from Britain, the creation of the American Army, Navy and Marines, and the start of the American Revolution was to grab land from the Native Americans living west of the Appalachians. I think it's going to take more than 1 man's take on history to rewrite that story.

Let me read the book and get back to you on it.

The material and information is interesting, but I would defer from agreeing with his (Hogeland's) conclusions and those of the interviewer. Consider what was written and discussed about in the interview and conversation:
"That subject, as the title gives away, is the imperialist seizure of Native American land by the newly formed United States government in the final years of the 18th century. Washington was a firm believer in the importance of creating a standing army, despite the reservations of his fellow founding fathers. Hw was also, like most of his contemporaries, a virulent racist who had no qualms about murdering non-whites and claiming their land.
This last point is critical, as Hogeland and I discussed in our Salon Talks conversation. As musicals like "Hamilton" sweep the nation, it is easy to allow a romantic version of American history to overshadow some ugly truths. The story of America's development is inextricably linked with our founding fathers' imperialist designs against Native American nations. It is also inextricably linked with the racist assumptions that they used to justify dehumanizing and displacing thousands, and ultimately millions, of innocent people." (Matthew Rozsa, Salon, May 21, 2017)
What these two historians have done is a disservice to historical facts and is extremely revisionist. Rozsa's statements bring the entire work into question.
I would like to read the book to see where and how Hogeland treats the French and Spanish in regards to the whole story, because he tends to misdirect people and gloss over the previous 150 years and the foundation set by the 'Charter of 1606'.
