Learning about History

We have much to learn from the past.

History shows that presidents cannot be trusted. Brettschneider (2024) points to five presidents who threatened democracy: John Adams, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, and Richard Nixon.

We need to be continually vigilant in protecting democracy.

We can start by studying U.S history.
