What is History and Why Do We Study It

History is the study of the past. It is very important for us to study history, we study it to not make the same mistakes and not have the same conflicts. History can be changed by finding new evidence but to go back in time and change it, we cant do that. There are countless reasons why we study history some of them are so we dont repeat mistakes like wars and slavery. We also learn from where we came for our heritage and how people of the past use to treat something that could help us in the futer. History is not something boring and just remembering dates they are stories that can be really interesting.

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Martin Luther King, Jr. 


I think that this quote is really good because it describes history really good it means that we don't make history but we are history. Eventually we will become history and the people of the futer will use us to learn from our mistakes.
