Believing they are doing good by the people‚ historians like Paul Johnson do not delve into the brutal ventures of famed figures in history when regarding America. Other historians‚ like Howard Zinn‚ are writing to tell history from sides otherwise overlooked with complete wholeness on the subject. No matter how many horrid crimes theses conquerors‚ explorers‚ founders and so on did‚ greater things came out of the ashes of those crimes and

A) In chapter 1‚ Howard Zinn’s main point is that history is not formed by the names of famous people and places‚ but by the interactions between different people or groups. In chapter 1‚ he uses the interactions between Christopher Columbus and the Arawaks. When people think of Columbus‚ they think of the hero who discovered America‚ but he was not the first one there‚ and was very dismissive of the natives once he landed in America.

"A Kind of Revolution" is an article written by Howard Zinn. I found the article from "A People’s History of the United States". Howard Zinn claims to show a series of controversial facts about the Constitution and how it ultimately contributed to the failure of the union because of the issues that were not resolved‚ and therefore caused controversy in the years leading up to the Civil War.
