The Sons Of History

Dr. Stephen Hardin, professor at McMurray University in Abilene and author of numerous books on Texas history, joins The Sons of History to discuss the importance of the Mexican-American War. 

What led to the Mexican-American War? What role did President James K. Polk play? Where was Santa Anna? And what about that border river?

All this and more in Part 1 of the two-part discussion on the neighbor war.

Also, we recommend you listen to our first ever discussion with Dr. Hardin a few months ago on the Texas Revolution, which was the start to the ongoing hostilities between the Mexicans and the Texians - and eventually the Americans.

It has become painfully obvious that the public education system has failed our children in more ways than we can count. From grades that haven't gotten better over the decades (despite increased spending) to constant indoctrination, parents and grandparents and all those who care about the current and future generation need to strongly consider an alternative route: homeschooling. 

The pandemic has made it abundantly clear the absolute inefficiency and inefficacy of the public system. The Sons of History bring out numerous facts about the system and why taking education into your own hands is the better and safer route. Education isn't simply a battle for the brain. It's a battle for the mind. 

Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim offer numerous solutions and methods for turning this coming school year into a true success.

Amid the chaos, we should be embracing our history even more and remembering the difficulty behind declaring our independence. Alan Wakim and Dustin Bass discuss what it took to reach a decision on independence, as well as some issues currently facing the country's freedom.

The Second Amendment secures the right of Americans to bear arms. This amendment has been under heavy attack for several decades. The Sons of History discuss why the Founding Fathers chose to create this amendment, who influenced their decision, and why citizens need this amendment, even those who choose to never arms themselves.

This discussion is chocked full of information. You may want to have a pen and paper handy.

These are very troubled times. The Sons of History discuss what has happened, including the significance of the riots, the defacing and destroying of memorials, and the logic behind the destruction. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim are brutally honest in this discussion about racism, the ideologies permeating across the American (and global) landscape, and how activist groups are pushing for an elimination of American history.

We encourage you to also listen to our previous episode: When Citizens Turn on Each Other.

History is full of great nations collapsing in on themselves when the citizens turn on each other and the government loses control of law and order. The Sons of History reach all the way back to Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Catholic Church and Islam and also more modern times with the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Civil War, the Spanish Civil, as well as America's own American Revolution and Civil War.

Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim make a heartfelt plea for Americans to stop and consider their current path. The end of this road leads to devastating results. We hope that everyone takes a moment to listen and make the necessary personal adjustments.
