The Founding Fathers were cross-dressers. Paula Bunyan was a lumberjane. To Benedict Arnold, treason was just another lifestyle choice. This is not the American past you may remember from social studies class, because The Politically Correct Guide to American History rewrites U.S. history according to the core curriculum of political correctness: frivolous lawsuits, animal rights activism, racial quotas, and in-your-face feminism. This wide-ranging tour de farce is a satirical stew of such varying topical material as tabloid journalism, gun control, the Royal Family, and of course the O. J. Simpson trial.
In this cracked herstorical text, George Washington doesn't chop down a cherry tree - he murders a noble representative of a voiceless, beleaguered species. In a retold "The Devil and Daniel Webster," Satan is an innocent victim of fire-and-brimstone syndrome. The Louisiana Purchase almost never happens because President Thomas Jefferson faces a sexual harassment suit from Sally Hemings. The gang of outlaws at the O. K. Corral is recast as a freedom-loving private militia.

Edward P. Moser is a melanin-impoverished, testosterone-enhanced person whose Swiss-Irish ancestry condemns him to the habitual intake of chocolate and alcoholic poisons. A contributing writer to The Tonight Show, he has had may humorous commentaries published in such periodicals as the Washington Post and The Boston Globe. An analyst for a Washington, D.C.-area firm, he has also been a wage slave for the U.S. Senate and the National Academy of Sciences.
book examines the famous events and figures of American history through the cracked yet increasingly popular lens of "political correctness." From the voyage of Columbus to the taming of the Wild West, accounts of the American past are shrewdly recast according to trendy notions regarding gender issues, the environment, and other current concerns.
