December Program: Forging a New Nation (American Identity)
The American identity is a mixture of cultures from around the world that settled and grew together to forge a new nation in 1783. Taking a broad look at the colonial history of North America from 1500-1783, students will discuss and see how each colonial power influenced the creation of America and still informs our cultural identity today. Students will be asked to answer, what is the American identity, both in the past and today?
