History Unmuted
This is History Unmuted. I’m Nichole — and this podcast uncovers the parts of American history that were buried, ignored, or rewritten… and connects them to the systems, power structures, and headlines shaping today. From forgotten events to history unfolding right now — this is where the past explains the present, and the present becomes history.

Episode 3 - The Hero America Chose
In this episode, we’re going to zoom in.
Because these systems didn’t just appear — they were championed, defended, and exported.
And they usually come with a face.
A leader.
A hero.
A story we’re taught to admire.
Tonight, we’re looking at how American power justifies itself — through myth, leadership, and legacy.
And how one of the most celebrated figures in U.S. history embodies that contradiction.
Victory for some.
Suffering for others.
And a story history chose to tell selectively.
Which already tells you something — because when history chooses, someone is being edited out.
That story has a name.
