school or just by doing a quick online search. Most individuals have had to learn important
dates, flags, and historical figures by heart. I can now see how historical perspectives and
learning strategies evolve through time. Not only this, but I've also had the freedom to select
hypotheses that I think are superior and better serve history. In the end, I think that's just a
matter of perspective.
