Is History A Lie?

[Lee]

I think its inherant that most of the historical teachings of the 20th century have some kind of embelishment to them.

I mean afterall, just how exciting can it be to write about dead guys and their accomplishments?

Like everything else though, its all marketing to some extent. We are taught to be 'good' and not to be 'bad' and well, history is full of people of both behaviors, some of which accomplished a hell of a lot during their times.
