Using history

2009-01-13T17:10:00.000-08:00

This is me teaching history to the top class at the orphanage . During this lesson we were looking at the Indian Mutiny of 1857 or as the book that I was using called it, the First War of Independence. It's really interesting how even at a school level, countries use history to re-imagine the past and create a national consciousness or maybe consensus.

I am wondering what events in British history are subject to the same level of spin. Was Magna Carta really that important? Did it really make any difference that Charles I was beheaded? Or are these two events only important in retrospect?
