I am writing a label that says the following
Important in history because...
Do I capitalize the word 'history' in this context?
Sorry! It's kind of a dumb question....I just want to make my project as professional as I can.

No, history doesn't need to be capitalized for any special reason. Only capitalize if it starts a sentence or is a part of a title!
Nope, you don't need to capitalize it even if you are talking about history class...unless it is the NAME of the class, like "I'm taking History 112," or "Is this History of Technology class?" But, you would say "My history class is fun." The only subjects that need capitals are languages.

Do You Capitalize School Subjects

Being careful and correct is never dumb. In this context, history should not be capitalized. In general, subjects and topics are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns (English) or have numbers following them -- Thus," I am taking an algebra course." BUT with a number : "I am taking Algebra I."

The two occasions where you would capitalize it are (a) in a Title, "The History of the World," and as a subject of study. e.g History Class.
I'm not sure what you mean by "label," but the phrase you have quoted looks like part of any old sentence and not worth capitalizing.

no, you don't capitalize it in this instance.
If you're talking about History as a proper noun, however (basically, if you can substitute someone else's name and it sounds fine grammatically), you can capitalize it, but you don't have to.
Good way to think of it is to rephrase the two given statements:
"Important in HARRY because..." doesn't quite make sense
"If you're talking about HARRY as a proper noun..." is grammatically correct.
Make sense?

I believe that you can capitalize if it is a subject, like, I go to Math class and then History, but google it, just to be sure.

LOWERCASE maybe if you press capitalizing key again, thats the opposite meaning to make it lowercase or capitiaize..

Only captialize it if you are referring to it as a subject in school. At least, that was how I was taught.
