Description
Focusing on the “Golden Thread” (God’s providence woven through history) this text will elaborate on America’s foundation, as well as major events and people which led to the writing of the Constitution. From its discovery to the early settlers, from witch trials to the early educational system, you’ll learn about the settling of the British colonies. Then, much time is spent on the events which led to the War for Independence. Readers will learn about the framing of the Constitution and its major themes, and finally, how we transitioned to a Republic. Use this as a spine to provide a solid overview of early US history. Parent Note: Preview content for your students. There will be some first-hand (although condensed) accounts of some graphic events such as cannibalism, The Starving Time, and King Philip’s War against the Puritans and Pilgrims. 379 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of American Story: The Beginnings
America is unique. No other nation in the world has enjoyed the widespread levels of stability, individual prosperity, and personal freedoms that have become customary in America today.
What made America different from other nations? Was it the people, the principles, or the blessing of God? It was all three of these, and this work will highlight each, telling the story of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.
Our story is not one of a perfect people, yet it is a compelling account of diverse people seeking religious and civil freedom, escaping oppression, pursuing opportunity, and often joining hands to achieve common goals. The American Story highlights some of the interesting moments and incidents affirming God’s Providence in American history. Our past is full of captivating accounts of the brave and the cowardly; of heroes and villains; of atrocities, corruption, and greed as well as self-sacrifice, honor, and redemption. It is a compelling and fascinating story.
