   This is a Quest staple that summarizes an event and includes the historical significance and impact. The sites also provide students with further research suggestions. The challenge is on. Resources abound as students analyze their material. Questions mark the way. Who was involved?  What was the conflict and/or compromise? How did events unfold? When did it happen? Why was it so important?   Finally, why should we care?
