History is a subject based on story telling. Sometimes, it is based off letters and written documents. History is not written down for others to learn in a nonbiased opinion in the present moment. Historians must go through these documents later and decide what is biased, and what is not.

When Charlie turned 16, we purchased a 1979 Firebird like the one in figure 171 for him to drive. It was rougher than Gina’s car, but I rebuilt the engine, and it proved to be reliable transportation for school and work. Rick wanted a Mustang, and we purchased a 1966 6 cylinder Mustang like the one shown in Figure 172. Though the price was comparable to Charlie’s and Gina’s cars, by the time we sold the car, it turned out to be the most expensive car I have ever owned- even the Honda…

The American Revolution. That most important political happening that raged on between 1765 and 1783. It’s safe to assume that something as revolution didn’t happen happen over night.

Ultimately, the British settlers have the right to govern themselves in their own land. Due to the many…
