“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.”
―Franklin D. Roosevelt
The story of the United States of America is the story of all of us, whether our ancestors arrived from Asia during prehistoric times, on the Mayflower at the beginning of the 17th century, or from anywhere in the world last month. It is a story of hopes and dreams, both realized and dashed. It is the collective story of millions, whose individual lives were woven into the fabric of today. How have we managed to survive as a nation? What are the foundations upon which we stand? How have we changed and why? How does this story inform who we are today? These are some of the questions that we will explore during our study of United States History.
