Liberty and War

Learn about the pivotal years following the American Revolution as America takes its place on the world stage as a new, strong country. Follow our first presidents as they set new tradition and precedent. Jump into our first political parties who can’t seem to agree on anything. America will also face new challenges in the War of 1812 as they try to answer important questions about isolationism. We will also see many new faces head west after Lewis and Clark to find new ground in adventurous territory. This open frontier will shape America’s ideas of manifest destiny. There are so many exciting things happening in this time period-you won’t want to miss it! In this class we will focus on asking important questions about America’s future and promise that “all men are created equal.”
