Critical history is history that's carefully and relatively judged, portrayed and presented so that it’s negative and beneficial attributes are clearly seen. Myths is also stated to be a fallacy, some thing that folks feel that does not exit or did not happen. Propaganda on the other hand, is statements that will were exaggerated or falsified so as to gain political millage.
‘The American Holocaust’ a book by David Stannard is a critical history from the act of genocide committed against the indigenous American population from the time Christopher Columbus set foot inside island he renamed Hispaniola to date. It dispels some of the myths that have been associated in the forced extermination in the ‘Indians’ as Columbus chose to call them.
Stannard estimates that about eight million indigenous Americans had been butchered by “violence, disease, and despair” in a span of a single human generation. Inside this time the vast majority with the Western Hemisphere's native peoples were exterminated. The pace and magnitude of their extermination varied from location to place and from time to time. Historical demographers analyzing the alter of population then have uncovered “post-Columbian depopulation rates of in between 90 and 98 percent” (Stannard, 1992)

According to Stannard, the comparison, if it's to become produced in ratio with the native survivorship within the Americas right after European contact has been observed to become a smaller amount than half of what the human survivorship ratio would be inside United States these days if each white individual and every black person died. Producing the destruction in the Indians from the Americas by far and away, one of the most massive act of genocide in the history with the world.
He argues that even today there's a continuation of genocide during the Americas, and in other places wherever the world's indigenous peoples survive. A Commission on Human Rights on the Business of American States released a look for in 1986 that observed that “40,000 individuals had merely "disappeared" in Guatemala during the preceding fifteen years. An additional 100,000 were openly murdered (Stannard, 1992)
the propaganda that “the American holocaust” ended ages ago he says is false due to the fact even as late as 1980s there has been reports (by a survivor) of "Children, two years, four years old, becoming grabbed and torn into two. This was the case in Guatemala in 1982 of a military massacre as seen by a victim.
Some more grisly cases are recounted in the assault on a Indian encampment. A victim’s confession recorded portrays the pain undergone by these kinds of people. “With tourniquets they killed the children, of two years, of nine months, of six months. They killed and burned them all.... What they did [to my father] was put a machete in right here (pointing to his chest) and they cut open his heart, and they left him all burned up. This really is the pain we shall never forget ... Much better to die right here with a bullet and not die in that way, like my father did "(Stannard, 1992)
The reports state that almost 10,000 unarmed persons had been killed in the assault on the 440 Indian encampments in Guatemala.
