Matt Walsh’s new series Real History landed where it matters most: confronting the fashionable mythology the left teaches our children. Episode one, The Real History of Slavery, premiered on January 19, 2026 and is streaming on DailyWire+ and the show’s YouTube channels, bringing a blunt, unapologetic corrective to campus-driven narratives.
The episode’s thesis is simple and historically sober: slavery was a global institution long before America, and many non‑Western actors — from African kingdoms to Barbary corsairs and the East African trade — practiced forms of bondage every bit as brutal as Atlantic chattel slavery. Walsh lays out uncomfortable facts that our schools too often omit, arguing that context matters when we weigh history and policy.
Watching Walsh dismantle the one‑note victimology pushed by the 1619 crowd is a relief for anyone tired of national self‑flagellation. Conservatives have long argued that teaching only America’s sins without its virtues produces a generation primed for resentment and grievance; this documentary pushes back on that approach and forces the left to defend its half‑truths.
Predictably, the predictable outrage machine cranked up — with critics accusing Walsh of revisionism and social feeds erupting in ridicule and condemnation. That noise only proves his point: the reaction shows how terrified the cultural establishment is of full historical context, and how eager it is to keep Americans cloistered in guilt rather than informed by truth.
Real patriotism demands we teach the whole story: the horrors and the progress, the victims and the victors of conscience who ended these abuses. If conservatives don’t own the narrative of honest, contextual history, the left will fill the classroom with resentment and the next generation will inherit nothing but shame.
