This history class follows the slow awakening of America, that it had a different calling than being part of the British Empire. Without realizing it, the colonists had evolved into feisty, literate, hardworking achievers who were relatively unfazed by class or tradition. In other words, they were no longer Europeans. We will follow them as the disparate colonies learn to work together and sculpt their ideals into a workable society, the likes of which the world had never seen. They will stumble through one rebellion, two governments, and the doubling of the size of the country.
