Welcome to Lesson #1: Introduction and Origin Story
- About this lesson
- Quiz
In this first session, I'll begin by introducing our topic and what we will cover in each session. There are many ways to tell the story of a group of people. It can be told through their religion, their region, and their generations, for instance. In this course, we are going to be telling the story of America through the lens of the predominant belief system of those who came to establish this new country.
I hope you enjoy lesson one!
