US History

If the idea of powdered wigs, Boston tea, and bold declarations appeals to your intellectual appetite, this US History course may be the perfect read. Beginning with the original colonies, the course takes you through the ideological tug-of-war that led to revolution and eventually, a republic rooted in rights and resistance.

The structure follows a clean historical timeline: colonial foundations, early ideological tensions, and then the thundering birth of revolution. You'll study how concepts like liberty and law grew from pamphlets and protests into full-blown rebellion. Concise, sharp, and full of political spice—this course captures the roots of American identity.
