Why we study history:
If you don't know history, it's as if you were born yesterday. If you were born yesterday, then any leader can tell you anything.
~ Howard Zinn War & Social Justice
Why we study government & civilization:
One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio; fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms. I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
~Harry S. Truman Speech to a joint session of the US Congress March, 1947
