James W. Loewen Quote
Since the alternatives to war remain roads largely not taken in the United States, however, they are tricky subjects for historians. As Edward Carr notes, History is, by and large, a record of what people did, not what people failed to do. On the other hand, making the present seem inevitable robs history of all its life and much of its meaning. History is contingent on the actions of people.
