“History by apprising [citizens] of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
 
 
Our founding fathers were all steeped in history, both recent and ancient. In seeking to establish the best possible form of representative government they referred to both the successes and failures of past civilizations.
 
Unfortunately, just as the founders feared, freedom is always one generation away from being lost. For the past few decades the progressives in charge of our government school system have refused to teach factual, unadulterated history. As a result, the majority of the electorate are now ignorant, complacent and compliant; ripe for tyranny.
