United States History.

Okay, I need help with this. A site about the question is helpful, because I have to write a paragraph.

What is the historical significance of civic virtue in colonial US?

Does the time period matter or a certain part of the U.S.?

You can say that NY was big on trading in contrast to a place like the Massachusetts Bay colony which was more focused on religious freedoms.

Mainly in the 1700's

Ooh so after the Salem Witch Trials. Hm..

Okay so explain how the colonists were tired of being taxed and quartered and treated unfairly by the mother country, so they started to band together and fight back for independence. You can add stuff like the Boston Tea Party and how the Sons of Liberty was formed. The continental congress was really important too since that's where they officially decided they needed to fight back. Thomas Paine's Common Sense played a huge part in convincing the colonists that they needed to work together against Britain.

Weird And Odd HOW DO I ATTACH DATES WITH EVENTS!?!?!?
I know events. Sometimes in chronological order. But if you asked me when the holocaust began and ended it doesn't matter how much I love studying that, I NEVER REMEMBER!!!

I get that. I'm the same way. I can remember it for a little, but I eventually forget. Some things I remember though because if I reallyyy want to, I can. I'm good at memorizing numerical orders. It's weird. I don't think there's a real way to remember dates with events other than just trying really hard and repeating it in your head and/or aloud.

☆ ĄňŊǡƂėƮĦ ☆ ŞŧŎŋė Does anyone know any primary source documents from the Gilded Age (1870-1900) about westward expansion and political corruption?


☆ ĄňŊǡƂėƮĦ ☆ ŞŧŎŋė Never mind. Found it!

Ah, yep

This is kinda geared towards APUSH, but I've found that it works really well for any type of U.S. History.

John and Hank Green's crashcourse us history videos on YouTube are awesome. Each video is a chapter in a textbook (thankfully it's my textbook <3) explained with visuals and an understandable and not-boring lecture. If it's not the same textbook, it still works, because each one is a specific topic. It got me a passing grade on an exam today ^.^
