This year we'll go on a journey through history together. We'll begin the year talking about the discovery of the new world and the hardships the settlers faced in everyday life and gaining independence from Great Britian. We'll then go deep into a discussion of all the events that led to the Civil War and the important battles that took place right here in our backyard. Finally, we'll explore the Civil Rights Movement and the hardships that our ancestors had to face to help us get to where we are now. All of these topics are made that much more interesting and exciting when so much of it took place right here where we live!
