Read and annotate:  “Re-examining the Revolution” by Ray Raphael


Respond in your digital comp books to these prompts:
1.  Ray Raphael says, "We continue to see ourselves as David to prove we are not Goliath..."  What does he mean by this?  How does he see this as a result of mythologizing the study of history?  Why should we care?
2.  Do we agree with Raphael's claim that "the historical self-portrait of America as the little guy, together with a myopic denial of international politics, fuels the quest for unbounded global power"?
