Program Details

Format

Using the John Marshall House–the 1790 home of our 4th Supreme Court Chief Justice as a lens–this program will use visual aids, primary sources, historic objects, and Q&A to explore and examine who causes and impacts of the American Revolution and creating the American nation.

Objectives

Students will review the primary causes of the American Revolution, consider the role of revolutionary rhetoric in the war and their own time, and contemplate what our founders needed to do after independence was won. Students will exercise skills in primary source analysis, historical inquiry, critical thinking, connecting past to present, and evaluating change over time.
