Haha, you're lucky I'm almost falling asleep in my computer chair. I haven't even laid eyes upon your piece except to copy-paste it into a word document so I can color code and what not. And no... reading historians is painful, especially when you have a test based on what these crackers wrote in their senile years. Regardless, I have to read them. Oh, I abhor APUSH so. I mean, the notes are my own, why do I have to get graded on them? Historians had no life, hence why they chose to write and argue over what dead people did and why these (may I remind thee?) dead people did so. They were unable to stick to writing about the living? I'd have minded far less, though they, inexplicably, chose ridiculous anecdotes that have no historical, scholastic, or even literary value!
Sorry, I end my rant here. I just really despise being forced to read so many Historians Articles for some test.
