Description
Class Experience
I have tutored early American history to elementary and history leaners for about 4 years. I have undergraduate courses in American History and politics in college. History is a hobby for me.
We will be using "Who Was George Washington". ISBN-10: 0448448920. The cost of the book is around $5.79 not including shipping.
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
Since this is a 60-minute class, I will only mention that George Washington was a slaveholder. Unfortunately, enslaved people were used to build and maintain his plantation or Mount Vernon. Washington like most of the Founding Fathers was torn on how to discuss slavery. They felt that any bitter debates could tear the nation apart. Washington was not a perfect man. But he was the only slave-holding Founding Father to free his slaves.
