Paige, you are mistaken!! It is quite ignorant to say that isn't true and that it was only biased on the ""winners" view. History is how we learn, how we learn from past mistakes so that we won't make the same ones in the future. All of the things that we learn in class have been proven time and time again. There is archaeological support, and many many written documents that support it as well. To say that history has no importance is just wrong. What I would like to know is how Paige would prove that history is false? With documents? With archaeological evidence? It is impossible to try and prove history is a waste of time. Besides the fact that it is almost impossible to discount history, that people that lived through that point in time deserve to have it be remembered. They deserve to have it written and know until the end of time. Take the Holocaust for example, thousands and millions of people  we massacred, being tortured, beaten, gassed, starved, and  much worse. Do you really think that those people who survived want us to forget that? Or to say it never happened? I don't think so!! They probably want to to be know and talked about forever so that nothing like  that ever happens again. Furthermore, what about our founding fathers? Does Paige think they never existed either? That this free country just appeared one day and no one had to fight for it? I don't think so. Paige is basically saying that despite all of the obvious evidence that history has it is still no true, and that everyone who ever lived before her was a liar, ya that's real intelligent. But as for the "It has been written by winners", that is false aswell. I don't know how many times in the Bible innocent lives were lost, heck, every single one of the disciples except for one died a martyrs death. Even though they were winners in the kingdom, their earthly lives were full of torture and people thinking that they were crazy. Also, when we were in the revolutionary war, we lost a few battles that were very important. And what about when our own country split over slaves? That doesn't sound like winners to me. All in all, history is that thing that we go to for advise, it helps us to understand why things are the way that they are and it helps us to never make the same mistakes that they did. So that all we can do is improve.
