History of the United States — The American Revolution and Westward Expansion – Institute for the Study of Western Civilization

On Wednesday nights the Institute will present a thirty-week course “History of the United States of America” in which we study the story of how the North American colonies fought for their independence, came together to form a union, wrote a Declaration of Independence and won their freedom from Britain. Fall Quarter will cover the Revolutionary War; Winter Quarter will tell the story of the new nation; and Spring Quarter will study the expansion of the new nation into the western lands. A second thirty-week series will pick up the story at the Civil War and bring our USA history up to World War I. All classes begin at 7:00 PM.
