American History, if taught from original documents and the Biblical Worldview, will produce passionate patriotic statesmen and is an exciting adventure for young adults. Learning the stories from original sources, from letters, documents and biographies brings liberty alive.
This American History course is different from most. It is a compilation of original documents written before the 1900’s. It is critical to go back to source letters, documents, articles and publications because America’s history began to be re-written about 1900. There are few public school resources after that, that cite original sources and stay close to authentic history.
Authentic American History highlights the amazing ways God orchestrated to establish the United States of America. You will see His hand in preparing people and moving through centuries and generations. You will explore the Declaration of Independence in depth and be able to clearly explain it to others. You need to know and understand the Biblical underpinnings of your government to walk in and steward Liberty to prosper yourself and the next generation.
As students learn American History from Authentic American History, then they will:
- Know their true history and heritage as Americans
- Understand the principles underlying the Cause of Liberty
- Develop better reading, reasoning and writing skills.
Because the course:
- Draws from the passion of our stories of Liberty in autobiographies, letters, Historic documents,
- Illustrates character development in patriots from assorted countries,
- Uses higher reading level sources and inspires better writing using the “4R’s: Research, Reason, Relate and Record” than what is presently used in most schools.
Authentic American History covers American History in four nine week quarters. The first volume shares the story of the Word being printed for the common man into his own language and how that affected how he lived. In England, this leads into the Puritans, then the Separatists, then the Pilgrims and their adventure to America. The second volume covers the Colonial period with the stand for Independence. The third volume covers the issue of slavery, into the Civil War and into the second reformation period. We will look into the Progressive era in the fourth quarter, then how to recover our culture for Christ. Students will be reading excerpts from original documents that bring life to the time periods and their studies.
As a general guide, Monday through Thursday will be assigned readings. Fridays will be used to write 300 word essays on what the students have learned that week.
