New! Step back in time and experience the dramatic events that shaped the birth of a nation. This course continues our summer exploration of North America’s early history, diving into the rise of English and Dutch colonies in the 17th century and the growth of the English colonies through the 18th century. Discover the rivalry between Britain and France for control of the continent, culminating in the pivotal French and Indian War. Then, trace the escalating tensions between Britain and its colonies—over taxes, authority, and independence—that erupted into the Revolutionary War of 1775–1783. Join us as we uncover the struggles, triumphs, and transformative moments that forged the United States from a collection of colonies into an independent nation.
