A people convinced in the Bible's teachings however, are almost impossible to enslave. Thus, political revolutionaries have always targeted Christians and Christianity for destruction in the first stages of their revolutions. This attack takes on many forms depending upon the nation. But because of the depth of the Christian roots of this nation, the anti-Christian offensive has had to be much more subtle than in other countries. One of the key areas of attack has been that of history.
History is a powerful ally.
A fact that revolutionaries have been quick to realize. A nation deceived about its past can be easily manipulated in the present. For this reason, one of the first things insurrectionists seek to do is re-write history from their own perspective. To rob a nation of its history is to rob it of the strength and wisdom of the past. It also, in a peculiarly effective way, biases the minds of men as they consider the alternatives before them.
