Wanted: John Adams II and Patrick Henry II

What Is Apologetics?
Every time I start my 9-month apologetics course, I begin by answering the question, “What is apologetics?” The reason I do this is that the word ‘apologetics’ can imply to some that we are apologizing for the truth, when we are not and never should.
The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part II

Columbus Set the Oars in Motion
Why has modern America chosen to attack Columbus Day? Many schools no longer celebrate it; many states have dropped it in ignominy… or worse, they use it as a negative teaching opportunity: to trash the explorers who brought European civilization to these shores.

The Civil War: When “United” Started Meaning “Centralized”
History, they say, is written by the victors—and edited by their public-school textbook committees.
