“I really feel like this class is what college is about. Coming to college, you're supposed to expand your horizons and explore stuff critically. For this one, nothing is ever one way. The North wasn't the good and the South wasn't the bad. It was much richer than that and [involves] really thinking about things differently than you were taught beforehand, really gaining ownership of that information. Whether or not you're a history major or have any interest in history at all, the basic skills in what this class does for you go beyond that.”
