During my sophomore year in college I took a history course taught by a professor with a very different view of how students should learn history. He was not interested in having us learn a bunch of dates. Instead he wanted us to start asking questions. He wanted us to ask what really happened and why, stating that we did not really know history until those questions were asked. He also wanted us to ask what is perhaps the most important question of all: How does it affect me? From that point on I was hooked, learning to love studying history. Here on this blog I hope to pass that love on to others as we study what happened in the past in order to understand why it effects us here and now.
