"Presidents"
Our Butler High School history teacher was appreciative of my interest in American History and approached me specifically to talk about my seeking information about the American Presidents.
We talked for a bit and then he made a life changing comment to me. He stated that it was not just who served as President that was important but who help put him in office and what their agenda was. Therein lay true causes and effects on our country’s history. This significantly changed my outlook on my studies in American History and eventually led to my interests in America’s Social History as well.
An interesting story I read was about one of George Washington’s personal aides reporting decades after his death, he had angelic visitations that gave him visions of the future of America.
The third visitation and vision seemed very similar to what I had seen in my ten dreams. In the vision George Washington was shown a time when the United States would go through a very trying time and it would look like all was lost, but in the end, our country survived this horrendous time. This peaked my interest.
I have always believed that when the time comes, we will as a nation work through the challenges and come out the better nation for it. This helps keep me going for sure.
