History as Pop Culture

[Replies: 14]
The premise of the shows is great, It is how I tried to teach my history classes. You have to entertain and little side stories that contain sex, drugs or viol;ence always are crowd pleasers.

there has only been the two. it takes time to scour the history pages for those quirky little stories that tie everything up so neatly. Like President Pierce being a drunk and the great grand daddy of the retard-in-chief, another drunk!
