Claim: No, teachers should not use fiction to teach history.
Reason: History is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. History is a chronological record of significant past events, not fictional events.
Counterclaim: We don’t know for certain that past events really happened, someone made them up or altered them, much like fiction.
Support: History is unconditionally the search after facts and events that really happened. Fiction is free to depict events that never occurred.
