The objective of the game Monopoly is to bring your competition to financial ruin while you stand tall in the end with your monopoly. But was this game based on real life events? Are you interested in learning the rich and fascinating history behind the board game Monopoly? This game was modeled after events that took place during the Reconstruction Era, the period immediately after the Civil War. -Have you ever wondered why the Banker can never go bankrupt? -Did you know that there was a real rivalry between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Railroad? In class, we will explore the Entrepreneur Titans that transformed America after the Civil War by creating a Monopoly in Railroad, Oil, Steel and Banking?

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Keallah Smith and I am a graduate of Georgia State University with a degree in Finance and a degree in Accounting. I'm an entrepreneur and a full-time homeschooling mother to four boys.
Basic financial principles are things that should be taught to all kids prior to reaching adulthood. Because this topic is not widely taught in schools, I've made it my mission to address this gap in a fun and engaging way. So, in my wheelhouse, you will find classes which encourage financial independence and entrepreneurship.
