SUMMARY:Queen Elizabeth
DESCRIPTION:At this writing\, Queen Elizabeth is the longest-reigning monarch in the world. When she ascended the throne\, a shy young girl saw her uncle abdicate the throne and advocate pro-German views in the years leading up to World War II. She watched as her father struggled to overcome a speech impediment and then work tirelessly to inspire the British people during the Second World War. His death at a young age propelled an unprepared and timid girl to the most important throne in Europe. \nQueen Elizabeth’s 50-year reign has seen enormous changes to the British monarchy\, the nation she serves\, and to the world at large. We will examine how Queen Elizabeth has grown in the job despite major stumbles\, including her epic mishandling of the sudden\, tragic death of Princess Diana. Her unparalleled life gives us great insight into the changes brought about by a rapidly changing world in the wake of World War II. \n

SUMMARY:Roots Of The Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In this exciting and thought-provoking presentation\, we will examine the roots of the Revolution.  \nThe American colonies were prosperous and enjoyed unprecedented freedom from the rule of the British empire. So what went wrong?  Why did the Continental Congress feel the need to protest\, raise an Army\, and declare independence? We will take a deep dive into the events\, arguments\, and personalities involved with the beginning of the American experiment.

SUMMARY:The Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans simply do not know very much about the Revolutionary War.   \nAlthough certain images from the Revolutionary War are seared into our memory – Washington Crossing the Delaware and the signing of the Declaration of Independence –  many people would be hard-pressed to name a major battle\, a leading general\, or even how the War For Independence ended.  Recent events in America have caused some to question whether we should even have statues of George Washington on public display. \nTHE REVOLUTIONARY WAR\n In this four-part series on the Revolutionary War\, we will examine why the freest and most prosperous colonials in the world decided to declare independence from a mother country that had protected them. We will look at the roots of the war\, the Declaration of Independence\, the early battles\, including Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, before transitioning into a longer look at the seven years of fighting necessary for America to begin its experiment in participatory democracy. We will also look at the amazing and diverse leaders who guided America. Benjamin Franklin\,James Monroe\, John Adams\, Paul Revere\, George Washington\, Thomas Jefferson\, and Alexander Hamilton will be some of the people we will meet. I encourage you to learn more about how America came to be! \n
