[Domyclass Help]

Assistance for HIST 102 AMU week 1 forum American History since 1877 American Military university is available at Domyclass

Frankly, many of the stories we hear, and even learned about in grade school, are myths about US history, that we have perpetuated throughout the centuries. In some cases, they may be half-truths, while in others, they just never happened. How many of us learned about George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, and then being unable to lie about it. It is possible that some of these have remained fixed in our culture because they produce good citizens, while in others, it may relieve our guilt for past transgressions. Whatever the case, these myths exist in great measure.

For this forum, you will be assigned a myth from the period after 1877 and in a minimum of 250 words, introduce the myth and the reality, then explain why you think the myth rather than the reality has been immortalized in the American consciousness.  For this last part, there is no wrong or right answer.  Remember to use citations for your explanations.

The initial post is due by Friday at 11:55 PM ET.  You are also required to respond to three of your classmates in a reply of no less than 125 words by 11:55 PM ET on Sunday.
