“To be honest, before I took Mr. Fields’ class I never heard of Alexis de Tocqueville. Mr. Fields taught me how to analyze history rather than merely memorize it, and on top of that, I have the map of ‘Democracy in America’ in my head and I know how to use it to write an analytical essay about most any period in American History. Mr. Fields is not lying when he says that using Tocqueville in your DBQ’s and your LEQ’s will get you points! It got me a 4 on the AP U.S. History Exam!”
