American History
Cost: $120/semester plus $30 materials fee
Class Description:
This is a comprehensive course. We will be handling original documents, correspondence, and passages - making notes and annotations as we study them. Some of the original documents we will be studying include The Magna Carta, The Mayflower Compact, William Bradford's Diary, Specific letters from the Federalist Papers, The Missouri Compromise and Kansas & Nebraska Act of 1856 to name a few. Our goal is to rescue wisdom from the past so that we can answer the many difficult questions and issues of our time. We will study the lives of the many men and women of our nation's past and discover the foundations they stood upon that allowed them to create our beautiful system of government and weather its many challenges. Significant reading will be required.
I have taught this course to my own children and several others through the years. It has been fun, challenging and inspiring. I have heard from former students, who are now out and about in the world, that this course helped them to navigate today's difficult landscape.
