Historian and HS teacher. My classroom rule: think for yourself. My X rule: same. Bibliophile, American exceptionalism, and the American Civil War.

HUZZAH! I'm back after a 5ish-year hiatus (the ideologues drove me away...). I like to talk about the #CivilWar, #FoundingPrinciples, #AmericanExceptionalism, & #AI. Follow me, I'll follow you back, & we can talk.

It’s been well over 3 years since Elon officially rebranded this platform. I think we can stop saying (formerly Twitter) now.

[Keith Harris @KHarrisHistory]

@Ronin0165 Well, teaching certainly has its challenges, but I have found it to be very rewarding. The idea that I get to work with young people and help them think critically about things is well worth the effort. We'd love to have you :)

Abraham Lincoln once asked General Winfield Scott this question:

“Why is it that you were once able to take Mexico City in three months with five thousand men, and we have been unable to take Richmond with one hundred thousand men?"
“I will tell you Sir, said General Scott”,
"The men who took us into Mexico City are the same men who are keeping us out of Richmond."

@WyoPen65 Not exactly like that but it's a great idea. I have the kids look closely at both sides for sure, with an effort to understand secession in context.

[Keith Harris @KHarrisHistory]

Out of hibernation! Let the school year commence #civilwar

[Keith Harris @KHarrisHistory]

@WyoPen65 Yup - my students are instructed to take very good care of them.
