'History is the study of people, actions, decisions, interactions, and behaviors' ... We seek to understand the past by determining and ordering 'facts'; and from these narratives, we hope to explain the decisions and processes that shape our existence. History can take the form of a tremendous story, a rolling narrative filled with great personalities and tales of turmoil and triumph. Each generation adds its chapters to history while reinterpreting and finding new things in those chapters already written. Those new to studying history often think history and the past are the same thing. This is not the case. The past refers to an earlier time, the people and societies who inhabited it, and the events that took place there. History describes our attempts to research, study, and explain the past.
