Description: Experience a new birth of freedom through this project and the study of the men and women of the time.
Extend the foundation of freedom created in Key of Liberty. Students enter a semester-long simulation pitting the North against the South as they learn to navigate difficult issues such as states rights vs. federal control, constitutionality of cessation, and slavery. In a crucial time in our nation’s history, human nature is explored in a war that resulted in brother fighting against brother in a conflict where both sides believed they were doing God’s will. The Civil War has never been more engaging as the students work towards earning a replica sword like those carried by the Union and Confederate soldiers. It includes simulations, great classic books, presentations, and more!
A few principles taught are:
purpose of government
personal and family choices
hardship
how to survive during difficult times
