这篇吗？

Historians sometimes forget thiat history is continually being made and experienced before it is studied, interpreted, and read. These latter activities have their own history, of course, which
(5) may impinge in unexpected ways on public events. It is difficult to predict when "new pasts" will overturn established historical interpretations and change the course of history.
In the fall of 1954, for example, C. Vann
(10) Woodward delivered a lecture series at the University of Virginia that challenged the prevailing dogma concerning the history, continuity, and uniformity of racial segregation in the South. He argued that the Jim Crow laws of the late
(15) nineteenth and early twentieth centuries not only codified traditional practice but also were a determined effort to erase the considerable progress made by black people during and after Reconstruction in the 1870's. This revisionist view
(20) of Jim Crow legislation grew in part from the - research that Woodward had done for the NAACP legal campaign during its preparation for Brown
v. Board of Education. The Supreme Court had issued its ruling in this epochal desegregation case
(25) a few months before Woodward's lectures.
The lectures were soon published as a book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow. Ten years later, in a preface to the second revised edition, Woodward confessed with ironic modesty that the
(30) first edition "had begun to suffer under some of the handicaps that might be expected in a history of the American Revolution published in 1776." That was a bit like hearing Thomas Paine apologize for the timing of his pamphlet Common Sense, which had
(35) a comparable impact. Although Common Sense also had a mass readership, Paine had intended to reach and inspire: he was not a historian, and thus not concerned with accuracy or the dangers of historical anachronism. Yet, like Paine, Woodward
(40) had an unerring sense of the revolutionary moment, and of how historical evidence could undermine the mythological tradition that was crushing the dreams of new social possibilities. Martin Luther King Jr.
testified to the profound effect of The Strange
(45) Career of Jim Crow on the civil rights movement by praising the book and quoting it frequently.

1.什么是历史？google一下what is history?对非人文专业的人去理解历史类的资料该有些难度？作者说了historians sometimes forget,我们搞不清是正常的

lukeleng

２．本篇涉及到美国种族歧视的历史事件和人物，与Jim Crow有关资料可以看看．

３．本篇作者的观点就是：Historians sometimes forget thiat history is continually being made and experienced before it is studied, interpreted, and read. These latter activities have their own history, of course, which
(5) may impinge in unexpected ways on public events. It is difficult to predict when "new pasts" will overturn established historical interpretations and change the course of history.

后面就是举例证了，文章结构很简单

第131题，handicap的类比是怎么来的？文章中有提关于shortly after的情况吗？

lukeleng

American Revolution通常是指1763-1776年这段时间，在1776年出版的American Revolution 对American Revolution历史产生了影响

就像    A newspaper article assessing the historical importance of a United States president written shortly after the president has taken office会对这位总统在历史上产生影响并形成＂新＂的历史．

麻烦把文章的梗概再详细说说吧，谢谢！
