Description
A uniquely engaging, faith-focused all-in-one history course!
What began as a reaction to the tyranny of the British Empire, soon became a valiant bid for freedom and self-determination of 13 small colonies in North America. They chose 56 representatives to gather and create a document that today still echoes the God-given rights of man. Resolved to their task and willing to sign their own names on it, these men would become targets of a vengeful king.
Designed for grades 7-9, lessons contain a mix of source documents, related scriptures, short biographies, quotes, and real-world connections.
