In this class, which is part of a 12 part series, we will delve into early North American history, learn about many of the various Native American cultures that were living in North America, the various European countries that explored and settled, and to gain a better understanding of the chronological order of American history. It is not required to take each course in order, but doing so will help give a better understanding of U.S. History. Topics...
Learners will take an in-depth look at the many different people who impacted history and both key and little known events that shaped the U.S. History. This course, Part 1 of 12, will cover early North American history through 1700.
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. I also currently have extensive classes on The Salem Witch Trials, as well as each U.S. State.

This class will cover early American history, which includes topics of violence, domination, racism, slavery, and discrimination. All topics will be discussed at an age appropriate level. (Please check the age group of the class before registering.) Some of the sources used for this course use derogatory and racist language towards Native Americans, African Americans, and others. My goal for this course is to be inclusive and to highlight how history is often more commonly written from the perspective of the perceived winner and to create an inclusive class that highlights multiple perspectives of history. There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.
