Period 1: Colonial Settlement (to 1763)– After the Europeans arrived in the New World, how did this trans-Atlantic encounter change the North American continent that would eventually become the United States.

Yet, historians today call it "The Second American Revolution," as it made the idea of equality more than an aspirational notion, spelling out in law implications of equality in the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. Reconstruction made equality more of a reality, bringing us closer to "A more perfect Union."Prelude to War NEW!https://catalog.masterthepossibilities.org/mtp/Course/Course.aspx?c=2914Jerry Colen M:$3; GP:$81 Class Date Live Oak HallHIS335A Tu 6/11 3-4PMOn July 4, 1776, The American Declaration of Independence was signed thus setting in motion the establishment of the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson's immortal words shine brightly, speaking to us that "All Men Are Created Equal." Yet, a mere 85 years later, the country was torn apart by an immense Civil War, that in the words of Abraham Lincoln, tested whether that country or any country so created could long endure. Considering the powerful words of Jefferson, how could the American Civil War have happened? What caused it? Could it have been prevented? Jerry Colen will speak to participants about the people, the inventions and the causes of what can only be described as America's great national tragedy.
