The Business Plot Against America | | The Reel Historian

Описание: In 1933, some of the wealthiest and most powerful figures in America attempted something that sounds almost unbelievable: they tried to recruit a decorated Marine Corps general to overthrow the President of the United States.

Decades later, Hollywood would turn a version of this story into the political thriller Seven Days in May.

But the real story is even more unsettling.

In this episode of Reel History with Teacher Eddie, we explore the true events behind the so-called “Business Plot,” the role of General Smedley D. Butler, and how one of the most disturbing moments in American political history was quietly buried — and later softened by Hollywood.

This is the true story behind Seven Days in May.

✔ MY GOAL

Reel History with Teacher Eddie tells the true stories behind the movies.

I’m a historian and teacher exploring the forgotten events, hidden histories, and real-life dramas that inspired Hollywood.

In my series Print the Legend, we uncover what really happened when history became cinema — from political plots and war stories to lost scandals and studio legends.

New episodes every week.

When the legend becomes fact… we print the truth.
