Product information

$70.00

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

SUPPLIES: Books to be acquired before the first day of class: Uncle Toms Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (read before the first day of class), Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt, Abraham Lincoln by Wilbur Fisk Gordy, How to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

HOMEWORK ESTIMATE: 2-3 hours per week spent on writing and reading.
