America, the stories that have been told are often focused on European conquest and colonization. Unfortunately, this has caused Native American societies' nuanced interactions and resilience to be overshadowed by European conquest and colonization. Historian Ian K. Steele's book "Warpaths: Invasions of North America" offers a fresh perspective on historical events related to the topic. The book makes a compelling case for a reevaluation of these events. Published in 1994, "Warpaths" challenges…

For my Scholar project I am going to learn about the United States Civil War. I want to become a Civil War historian, and know the significant battles, generals, dates, and other events of the war. I want to do this because I have always found the Civil War interesting, and I am fascinated by the generals on both both sides, but especially the South. I already know a little about the war, but I want to greatly expand my knowledge to far past what I know now. Right now I know a couple battles,…

In this paragraph I will talk about by historians should emphasize agriculture more than human sacrifice. I think historians should emphasize agriculture in modern times more because it has more to talk about than human sacrifice and to some people it can be a little too violent. Most historians emphasize Human Sacrifice because there is more to talk about and then while there is still a lot to talk about and learn how they did all different ways. well I'll talk about all these reasons in…

David R. Russell and Arturo Yañez’s essay, “Big Picture People Rarely Become Historians’: Genre Systems and the Contradictions of General Education,” is a dynamic piece that attempts to describe the motives and feelings of students being forced to take general education credits using a methodology known as the Activity Theory.

The French Revolution is often described as the Revolution of France and has been considered a social and economic development during the mid to late 1700’s. Historian J. Russell Major supports theories that the leadership, educational, and social changes instituted by King Louis XIV and Jean-Baptiste Colbert were the instigating events for French Revolutionaries. The monarchy created by Louis XIV began an unrecoverable pattern of debt, inflation and devastation of the working class. The…

judgments should not play a role in how historians narrate. Historian should refrain from passing judgements on the past actions and deeds of individuals. He criticizes the Whig’s interpretation of history because the judgments they make on events may be inaccurate due to their bias. He primarily disagrees with Lord Acton’s analysis of history because he judges through his own modern morality. Modern being from a relatively recent point in time where the historian can look back and see the…

dealing with the British history, historians have published many treaties on the history of British imperialism. However, when historians try to unfold the history of the imperial period, controversies arise. The historians have heated debate over what content of the imperial history they should present, the purposes of writing it and in what ways of they should write.

As seen from the last chapter, historians led my Carr, Acton, Croce, and Irfan Habib, immunize their historical work against passing of moral judgements with reference to present standards of moral values. They realise that danger of imposing moral judgements by historians will imply that moral standards of the past people were inferior to those residing in the present.

The focus is not on ruling out what cannot be accomplished, rather, it is emphasizing what can be done under the circumstances.
