If history is ancient enough it would be possible to be objective if you could sort out the facts. But modern history? Not likely because no one wants to portray them selves in a bad light. I would guess the American version of history would come closest to it because it is now politically correct to condemn America and portray it in the worst possible way so any failures would most definitely be pointed out.

History is a great way to learn what how not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. At the same time it is much more interesting than that simple statement. It is a story of people like ourselves who lived and died much like we will. The differences are they lived to do great things or not so great things. \n\nOur nation’s history is one of excitement after all it starts with people exploring a new world unlike that they have seen before to get here they had to cross a bridge of ice. They learned to live off the land to be people of the land. Until another group of explores came they to learned to live off the land yet they brought with them their entire civilizations ideas hopes and dreams, that often times conflicted with those of the Natives. Our Story is one of a small colony fighting a supper power and winning with the help of future enemies. Then a few years later taking on a supper power and gaining our independence. All of our soldiers were citizen soldiers at that time. Fighting against the professional army of the supper power were farmers, merchants, and shop keepers. The story of our nation has been about pushing our frontiers out into the unknown. It has been about protecting what is ours by attacking men of a different faith who have lost their faith because they are bent on greed and piracy. It has also been about standing up to what is ours no matter whom they are no matter what it cost us even our capitol. Our story is one of growth and determination and manifest destiny. It’s been a story of violent revolts and violent healing. Its has been about proving ourselves as a morale nation by freeing the oppressed. Also about proving ourselves on the world stage by taking the fight anywhere the enemy is. It’s been about helping friends in need to save their countries amid massive destruction. It’s been about battling depressions and economic strife. Our story has been about liberating continents from an evil empire and saving those who were unjustly persecuted just because of their faith. It has been about supporting the world community and agreements it has made even if it cost us our blood. It has been a story of peaceful and violent demonstrations. One of a dream of a people. It’s been a story of the greatest achievements of man followed by our greatest defeats. One of renewal and hope and one of terrible sadness. It’s a story of a fall from grace on the world stage and hopefully a triumphant return to it.\nIt is the story of America.

If you are global or visual learner concpet mapping is great for getting the big picture of history. For most global learners, they cannot remember the detail effectively until they have the big picture. It is like building a system of shelves in the mind so you can more easily store and retrive information. \n\nMy kids are using it for their studies with great success, but they are not facing SATs and a tight deadline like you are. But, in the off chance it may help, here are two links that may help you to get started:\n\nsee some examples of history concept maps:\n\nhttp://cmapspublic2.ihmc.us:80/servlet/SBReadResourceServlet?rid=1160861839109_1206028384_10916&partName=htmltext\n\nwhere you can get free concept map software (this is what we are using):\n\nhttp://cmap.ihmc.us/download/index.php\n\nI hope it is of some help.

It makes it easier if you outline it.  Intro, a paragraph for each point you want to make, and a conclusion.  I would look at how the autobiographies are important to history or a more modern look at the stars autobio's importance.  Define your topic more and find resources to site it makes the paper go easier

To judge it.\n\nHistory comes from the latin word Histor, which means wise man or judge.\n\nMy role in history is to know it and judge how it affects me and my environment.\n\nAnd the reason for this is that the future doesn't have any meaning if it doesn't have a past.
