I remember American History in school. For years it started with the early explorers and the Pilgrims. By the end of the year, we would get into the Civil War. The next year we'd be back to the explorers and the pilgrims. I had to take an elective my senior year to cover Modern American History in the 20th century.

I have decided to spend the next two or three years covering American History with my children. I figure they should learn about where they are first, then they can learn about the rest of the world in more detail.

That's a worthy endeavor. There is so much to explore in history and any other cultural activity to give kids as broad (dare I say "liberal") education as possible. I believe that it not only gives them a better foundation as citizens but a much richer experience in life.
