Sadly there is no linkage between history and today — from the time I was a kid (longer than I like to admit) through today.
I wish history teachers would, by and large, infuse the historical story with passion. Here is a man who, when faced with total defeat, flipped off his opponent, squared his shoulders, and fought even more — to secure the IDEA of liberty, which is taken for granted today (and I also wish that those same teachers would note how that liberty, so important to our Founders that they would die for it, is being handed away by the America-and liberty-hating president and congress-controllers today, but that is a pipe-dream).
At the very least, if kids were to see articles about what really happened, it would excite their imaginations and, God Forbid (/sarc), their patriotism.
Agreed. I’m always learning stuff I didn’t know. Reading about current political intrigues is almost as much fun. I’m reading the book called Hidden Power about presidential wives right now. Also if you have not read Warlord by Ilario Pantano I would recommend it. I couldn’t put it down
