If I were teaching American History

 If Iwere teaching 'American History'

I'd certainly use ERH www.erhfund.org

But the key thing is that it all points toward the First Amendment, especially freedom of speech, and it all points from that

I recently read another that told of much earlier inter-continental travel, in the style of 'America. B. C.'

I'd use timelines.

I'd assign experts from the class for time periods. Ideas, Insttutions, Inventions... If 30 people, then 2400-1492 = @ 30 years each, but there'd be pr- 1492, and 2 in Future

I'd use people from the community to talk to us. Lutheran for John Hanson, 1st President, Wesley's big influence, etc.

We'd write a book be on YouTube, etc.

Money-making, students too

Etc.
