History is made up of fascinating people, cultures and events. History at its finest is about stories, some magnificent and exhilarating, some tragic and disheartening. Often these stories can help us appreciate other people and their culture, and also helps us to understand why and how the world works the way it does. In this website we will learn about the key people, cultures, and events that make up the history of what we now call the United States. Along the way we will cover many of the familiar events and people of American history.
The primary goals are to analyze carefully and logically information and ideas from multiple perspectives; to understand and appreciate the diversity of the human experience within the United States; to consider American history in light of your - and other’s - values and ethics; and to communicate your thoughts intelligently with other's.
With all this in mind, please sit back and become inspired as Eldon Quick performs his rendition of The Defense of Fort McHenry (Our Star Bangled Banner).
