What were five lies told in the book?

- Woodrow Wilson, who is celebrated as the president who led the country through WWI and beginning international diplomacy. However, Wilson segregated his officials in government, was a fan of Birth of a Nation (the movie that re-inspired the KKK), and repeatedly invaded Latin American nations from 1914 to 1918.

-The story is that Ross made the first American flag, but Loewen argues that this is a myth created by her descendants which continues due to the need for stories about women having played a role in the early nation. If, in this mythology, Washington is the Father of the nation, then Betsy Ross is its Virgin Mary.
