Task:
• I have covered a wide variety of topics, from initial colonization of the Americas by the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English to the formation of a new nation under a completely unique system of government. The people, ideas, and events that contributed to the emergence of the United States of America as a nation at the end of the 18th century as are varied and complex as those of our own age.
• Because our nation's past seems so distant, many people have a flawed or simplified view of how history developed from Columbus to the American founding. As a result of your studies, how have your previous ideas been challenged? Did you learn anything that might have changed the way you see certain aspects of American history in the early period? Do you see the Colonial and Revolutionary periods in a different way? Have you seen something you previously knew from a different point of view?
