Welcome

Welcome to "Learning in the Past." This blog contains historical information studied at the 8th grade level in Alabama. The title, "Learning in the Past," suggests that we not only hope to learn about the past, but we also hope to learn from the past (plus, some other blog names were already taken). Again, welcome and thanks for joining us on our journey.
