New student of history; albeit under protest
All, very new to chat scene..especially when I'm doing it in an effort to pass my college class and get a better understanding of things perhaps through a fellow human versus drudging through 800 pages of dry reading.

Hi thomasv207, welcome to ACG!  What area of history is your class studying? Whatever it is, I'm sure there is at least one expert here...we even have several respected authors in various fields as members. I hope you find what you are looking for!

Welcome thomas. You might find "Drudging" thru history to be addictive, as most of us here have. It can easily become a lifetime fascination.
