differences in folk history and western history

Folk history is an oxymoron: a false truth. Legend,
the genre through which folk history claims life, was
once defined as a falsehood believed to be true.' When
a child, I was told how Colonel John S. Mosby, cor-
nered by the Yankees in northern Virginia, loaded a
cannon with a beehive that fell amid the bluecoats and
scattered them, delivering the rebel hero. From such
legends in which the impossible is presented as so, the
idea of false truth expands subtly to contaminate tales
that are not untrue. The story raised upon memory is a
legend too: the time Ernie met a ghost in his kitchen,
the time Alice saw a ghost that turned out to be a
rambling calf, the time the priest gave Peter a new pair
of shoes, the time Mehmet bought his first tractor. The
little legend of common life is guilty by association. It is
not a lie, but it is like a lie, for it does not fit; it cannot
be accommodated within historical knowledge.
Western History:-
Western civilization traces its roots back to Europe and the Mediterranean. It is linked to the Roman Empire and with Medieval Western Christendom which emerged from the Middle Ages to experience such transformative episodes as the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, scientific revolution, and the development of liberal democracy. The civilizations of Classical Greece, Ancient Rome, and Ancient Israel are considered seminal periods in Western history; cultural contributions also emerged from the pagan peoples of pre-Christian Europe, and from the civilizations in the Ancient Near East. Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization, which throughout most of its history, has been nearly equivalent to Christian culture. Western civilization has spread to produce the dominant cultures of modern Americas and Oceania, and has had immense global influence in recent centuries in many ways.
