America: The Forging of a Nation
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Acellus presents America: The Forging of a Nation — a new course that takes students on-site to the historic landmarks of Philadelphia and Boston, two birthplaces of American democracy.
This is the story of the American Revolution and those who lived it — the sacrifices they made, the impossible odds they faced, and what it meant when they signed their names to a declaration that would change the world. Their courage forged a nation. Their story deserves to be told, remembered and passed on to future generations.
