"The Seven Years’ War was particularly important to the future of America, where it came to be referred to as the French and Indian War, and would last from 1754 to 1763. The French and Indian War was enormously consequential. It would dramatically change the map of North America. It would also force a rethinking of the entire relationship between England and her colonies and bring to an end any remaining semblance of the “salutary neglect” policy. And that change, in turn, would help pave the way to the American Revolution."

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.
