What is your favorite part of history to read/learn about?

Zack Lee said

that is one of the main ways that school got it so wrong in our generation. I hated history. It seemed to me like if you ever did anything important in the world that you got a big stamp on the calendar and forever after kids would be forced to memorize that date and nothing else. :jpshakehead:

If you ever had the good fortune as I did to have a history teacher in high school who wasn't simply focused on dates, names, and places but instead focused on the actual people who made history, then history truly comes alive as it should. He gave anecdotal stories about his characters always prededed by "Did you know..." We said "of course You would know, you were probably there!"

Thanks again Mr. Landes, you instilled in me a lifelong love of history :)
