“[History] does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities,

    The dissipating war of Vietnam still continues to affect America today. The only thing that keeps Vietnam alive is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The memorial covers more than 58,000 American men and women who died in Vietnam fighting for our county. Lacking the glory and heroism the war memorial shows, there is a silent reminder of the losses of the American soldiers. What the war did to the United States was unspeakable and it still has an overwhelming morality.…

    There is a feeling you get when you daydream. You vision get hazy. Your mind takes you places where only you can see. I imagine the gap between daydream and reality is lot like the gap between the realities of a soldier in the middle of a blood soaked war, and the shell shock that soon follows a horrific display. Your mind just stops working. It takes you somewhere comforting; away from the boring class, or the terrors of war. It is an escape mechanism that can happen in an instant. Before you are even aware, someone snaps their fingers, says the magic words, and brings you back to your star crossed reality.…

    Historians use many methods that I was able to use in this investigation. For example, they examine both primary and secondary sources. I found information from both primary and secondary sources. I looked at what Ho Chi Minh had said and what historians said.

In those sources, Ho Chi Minh explained why the Vietnamese were fighting and that they wanted to be free and independent. My secondary sources were historians describing what happened in the Vietnam War after it happened.…

    The final exam will take place Thursday, December 21st, in the usual classroom from 4:30-7pm. It will consist of around 15 true/false or multiple choice questions, and a dozen or so short answer questions. The exam will be comprehensive – that is, it will cover material from the entire semester. The emphasis will be on material we have studied since the last exam—probably one-half to two-thirds of the final exam will cover this new material. But note that that still means one-third to one-half of the exam will cover material from the previous two exams.…
