    Just goes to show how easy history is to alter tho. If he can do this as a one-off for shits and gigs just think what the people doing it on purpose are up to. I feel like I can hear my AP history teacher screaming “PRIMARY SOURCES” from the farthest depths of my subconscious.

      My AP history teacher liked to make up stuff. But like, he’d say he made it up right after telling the made-up thing.

          Was your brother my 6th grade history+english teacher who spent more of class time having recess or playing Risk (the board game) than anything else?

        I mean that’s a great illustration of the importance of those primary sources in a memorable way, especially if you’re out of school now and it’s stuck with you that long.
