Learners will gain a better understanding of the different groups of settlers that came to North America, how important religion and politics were to their growth, their relationship with Native Americans and other colonial communities, and how slavery became an integral part of their society. We will also examine growing international relationships between different European countries and look at the impact of the Seven Years War on both politics and westward expansion.

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.
