America's history is just as fascinating as the country itself; seeing as we're the only country with hollywood, spray cheese, and hamburgers. In our 240+ year history, we've experienced war, peace, freedom, glory, tragedy, and so much more. Many people take our history for granted, and would rather go enjoy a football game than study it. But what most people don't think about is the measure of sacrifice and bravery that had to occur for us to be here today; safe in our homes without the tyranny of a king, the cruelty of slavery, a silenced community, or any other horrible circumstances the people of the past had to endure.
-Stephen E. Ambrose (Historian on U.S. History)
