Rewinding History ­- The United States of America

Rick, one of the biggest History enthusiasts I’ve ever met and a credentialed teacher, will be covering US History from our inception till today in a bird’s eye-view perspective, since this class is only 1 semester.  If you would like to have a good grasp of all the big events in US History, this is the class for you!
