Alright, whats the bottom line?
The bottom line is this: the study of history is what you make of it. It can be exciting like unwrapping presents on Christmas morning, or it can be dull like looking outside and finding that it is raining for the third weekend in a row. In the end, we hope that learning about the past will enable you to apply the lessons, good and bad, to decisions you make in the future. Because in order to secure the future, in order to live free as American citizens, it is vital to learn about our mistakes. If you don’t want to loose your teeth, then remember to brush them. If you don’t want to loose your freedom as an American citizen, then learn our history.
