Native Americans and the American Revolution mini-unit, including text
The American Revolutionary War presented a particularly sticky problem for Native Americans east of the Mississippi. Pressured for generations by colonists on their borders and suffering constant loss of tribal land, most tribes wished to remain neutral in a conflict that they did not understand. Proximity to the War, however, was bound to drag them into the conflict, and Indians had to decide which side to support. That support, for the most part, depended on which side they felt would better p

Despite a wish to remain neutral in a conflict that they did not understand, many tribes were dragged into the war with disastrous consequences, regardless of the side they backed in the War. Women were also deeply involved in the war, both by supporting the effort with domestic industry as well as becoming more actively involved through spying or even donning men’s clothing and fighti

We Take Nothing by Conquest - a US History textbook, Columbus to Reconstruction
"Fantastic!"When I started teaching 8th grade US history 10 years ago, I searched high and low for a good textbook. Needless to say, that search was fruitless. The textbooks that I found were either incomprehensibly written or dumbed down to the point of being intellectually insulting to a 13 year old. Moreover, none told the story of our history that my students really wanted to hear: the history of African-Americans, of Native Americans, and what life was really like for our ancestors. Followi

Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony mini-unit, including text
“Excellent Unit! Thank you!”
Harassed into leaving England and unhappy with their new home in Holland, the Pilgrims took a literal leap of faith in coming to the New World to begin a new colony where they could practice their particular brand of Puritanism away from constraints of the Anglican Church and the influence of Dutch culture. Landing outside of the jurisdiction of the Virginia colony, the fledgling Plymouth colony was able to survive due to a strategic alliance with the local Wampanoa

He is most known for his interactions with the Aztecs, an advanced Mesoamerican civilization. Upon arriving in Mexico, Cortés and his troops were initially welcomed by the Aztec ruler, Montezuma II.
