High School The American Semiquincentennial Unit Study

I am right there in the trenches of high school with my own teen, so I know how hard it is—honestly—to find resources that do not skimp on academics just to keep a providential focus. I put my heart into The American Semiquincentennial: A Covenant of Liberty because I wanted my homeschooler (and yours!) to look past the usual July 4th noise and actually understand the 'covenantal' bones of our nation. This is not just another dry history unit. It is a labor of love I built to challenge our homeschoolers' hearts and minds, connecting our founding documents directly back to biblical principles and divine grace.

INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE:

• Deep-dive text on America’s 250-year providential journey.

• Essential theological and civic terms with concise definitions.

• 10 note-taking sheets to capture key concepts effectively.

• 10 deep-thinking prompts with a full teacher’s answer key.

TOPICS COVERED:

• How colonial charters established a biblical framework.

• God’s hand in national survival and the Civil War.

• John Adams’ vision for virtue and "ordered liberty."

• Mandates for intercessory prayer and being "salt and light."

I truly hope this The American Semiquincentennial: A Covenant of Liberty study ends up being so much more than just a box to check off for high school credit—I want it to be a real bridge between history and faith for your homeschooler. We are in such a unique, fleeting moment as we head toward the Semiquincentennial, and I cannot think of a better time to ground our homeschoolers in what a 'covenant of liberty' actually looks like. My prayer is that this does not just fill their heads with names and dates, but honestly helps them grow into virtuous stewards of the freedom we’ve been given. It is an honor to walk this road with you as we point our teens back to the true Author of liberty!
