Class Experience

This three-lecture unit study of American History is designed as a follow-up to BIG PICTURE: AMERICAN HISTORY IN ONE LESSON.   It consists of a THREE-DAY course, covering the following topics:

DAY 1: The Colonial Period and the American Revolution
-The Colonial Background to today's United States 
-The revolutionary origins of present-day American culture

DAY 2: Independent America
-The Founding Fathers as Presidents
-The Growth and Decline of the Union
-The Civil War

DAY 3: Civil Rights and World Police
-The Evolution of Civil Rights from Reconstruction to Today
-America as World Police Power in Modern Times

Students who have previously taken "Advanced American History in One Lesson" will be in a stronger position than others to take this additional unit study, but it is *not* a pre-requisite. 

Clients who register for this program even though they have not had a chance to use BIG PICTURE: American History in One Lesson will receive a complimentary recording of that program to help their students prepare.
