historical fiction

A story that takes place either during the American Revolution or the American Civil War. All works of historical fiction are limited to these two topics. Why else would we have so many books about these two wars?

Historical guilt-tripping

A form of guilt-tripping using history. This method is usually used by people who admire the "good ol' past".
Dad: "Romulus Augustulus was a Roman emperor when he was 12. You are the same age as him but you do nothing but play Xbox all day."
Son: "Alexander the Great was 32 years old when he died and he conquered so many lands. You are older than him yet you do nothing but waste your money on some trash."

This is an example of historical guilt-tripping.
