Historical events removed from the timeline of history where they occurred creates propaganda -- whether well-intentioned or not. //

By adopting the storyline in the manner they have, the Yellowstone creative team has corrupted the actual historical timeline of this shameful period of US history, dragging it from 50 years in the past to only 20 years in the past. How many viewers took note of this and simply accepted the representation of such overtly racist government policy as recently at the end of the Clinton Administration?

History is a unique thing. Events happen when they happen. Transplanting a set of events from the era in which they took place to an era in which they did not take place for creative storytelling purposes — rewriting history — is propaganda.
