13 Widely Believed History Myths That Are Completely Wrong Or Missing A Key Piece Of Detail


“Something which isn’t really taught in US History is that the first Asian settlers in the US were likely Filipinos. They were fleeing the Spanish takeover of the Philippines and settled in St. Malo, Louisiana. There is even evidence that Filipinos made it over before the Pilgrims, in the 1500s.”

—Anonymous, 34, Female, Hawaii

Fact: While the origins of the first Filipino settlers in the US remain contested — some believe that they arrived on Spanish trade vessels — it’s widely accepted that they established the country’s oldest-known permanent Asian settlement in Saint Malo (present-day Lake Borgne), New Orleans.
