Rik ElswitThe purpose of American History as taught in our schools is to generate and promote patriotism, and it’s bowdlerized to make us look noble. Look at all the blowback about teaching children that racism in the US is systemic, and embedded in our laws and culture.Present it as the story of how we got here, warts and all, and you’d have a far more receptive audience, and one where they didn’t suspect that they were being lied to. It’s actually a ripping and gripping yarn which they ruin by trying to make heroes of the colonists and slaveowners. We’ve actually done great things as a nation, but the twisting of the tale ruins it.Teach that this country, both good and evil, is always in process, and that what it is, up to us.我们学校教授的美国历史的目的是培养和促进爱国主义，它被美化了，使我们看起来很高尚。看看在美国以种族主义的方式系统性的教育孩子，并且将其根植于我们的法律和文化中所带来的反弹吧。把它作为我们是如何发展到今天的故事，不掩盖地呈现出来，你都会有一个更容易接受的观众，他们不会怀疑自己被欺骗了。这实际上是一个扣人心弦的故事，他们试图把殖民者和奴隶主塑造成英雄，结果毁了它们。事实上，作为一个国家，我们历经了很多伟大的事情，但扭曲的故事破坏了这一切。告诉他们，这个国家，不管是好是坏，总是在发展中，它是什么样，这取决于我们自己。
Ah L?mTechnically speaking, the US only has 47 states.Virginia, Kentucky, and Massachusetts are technically “commonwealths”, and not states.Honolulu, Hawaii, is the most isolated city on the planet. It is over 2,000 miles to the nearest city, San FranciscoReno, Nevada is farther west than Los Angeles, CAMaine is the closest state to the African continentThe United States has no official language at the federal level, but states can set up their own official languages. For example, California’s official language is English.Four of the first five presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe) were from Virginia. As such, the early era of the United States was known as the Virginia Dynasty.New York City has around 9 million people… meaning there are more people living in NYC than in about 40 of the other states.严格意义来讲，美国只有47个州。严格意义来讲，弗吉尼亚州、肯塔基州和马萨诸塞州是“联邦”，而不是州。夏威夷的火奴鲁鲁是地球上最与世隔绝的城市，它距离最近的城市旧金山有2000多英里。内华达州的里诺比加利福尼亚州的洛杉矶更为靠西。缅因州是离非洲大陆最近的州美国在联邦一级没有官方语言，但各州可以设立自己的官方语言。例如，加州的官方语言是英语。前五任总统中有四位（乔治·华盛顿、托马斯·杰斐逊、詹姆斯·麦迪逊和詹姆斯·门罗）来自弗吉尼亚州。因此，美国早期被称为弗吉尼亚王朝。纽约市约有900万人口，这意味着纽约市的人口比其他40个州的人口加起来还要多。
Tim O'NeillHow do we know the history is the real history?The idea that "history is written by the winners" is a clichéd truism that isn't actually very true. History is actually written by academics trained in a careful scholarly method and working within a system of peer review, both of which serve to discard unlikely or obviously biased interpretations. It works toward an argument to the best explanation - ie one that explains as much of the evidence as possible and which is agreed is the most likely version of what happened in the past.The Historical Method is based on three fundamental steps, each of which has its own techniques:我们如何知道历史才是真正的历史？“历史是由胜利者书写的”是一句陈词滥调，但事实并非如此。事实上，历史实际上是由受过严谨学术方法训练的学者撰写的，他们在同行评议的制度下工作，这两种制度都有助于摒弃不太可能或明显有偏见的解释。它倾向于一个最佳解释的论证，即尽可能多地解释证据，并被认为是过去发生的事情的最可能的版本。了解历史的方法基于三个基本步骤，每个步骤都有自己的技巧:
1. Heuristic- This is the identification of relevant material to use as sources of information. These can range from the obvious, such as a historian of the time's account of events he witnessed personally, to the much less obvious, like a medi manor's account book detailing purchases for the estate. Everything from archaeological finds to coins to heraldry can be relevant here. The key word here is "relevant", and there is a high degree of skill in working out which sources of information are pertinent to the subject in question.启发式 这是对相关材料的识别，用作信息来源。这些可以是显而易见的，比如历史学家对他亲眼目睹的事件的描述，也可以是不太明显的，比如中世纪庄园的账簿，详细说明了庄园的购买情况。从考古发现到钱币再到纹章学，一切都与此相关。这里的关键词是“相关”，要找出哪些信息来源与所讨论的主题相关，需要高度的技巧。
