884002: TruthQuest History: American History for Young Students II (1800-1865) TruthQuest History: American History for Young Students II (1800-1865)
By Michelle Miller / Truth Quest History

History may seem murky, but only because we wrongly focus on the long corridor of human actions. History is really a door to God Himself!

God created mankind and his times. He is the initiator; we are the responders. So, it is first God's truths and then our responding beliefs which shape all of history: government, philosophy, art, architecture, literature, scientific thinking, economics, law, and the value placed on human life itself.

TruthQuest History opens the door to it all by bringing together worldview wisdom, literature recommendations, and chronology... all in a fascinating storyline of spiritual context!

How? Picture your family reclining in a comfy boat. The current of TruthQuest History carries you... because each topic has its own powerful commentary and reading list. Your children do not just visit times... they understand them! They do not just read... they see cause-and-effect truth!

Whatever your style, TruthQuest History can benefit you. It follows key Charlotte Mason and Classical resources, and assists unit-study and unschooling familes exploring an era. TruthQuest History even helps you teach your own theology and choose your own resources! Adaptable for all grades.

Well, it looks like you've had a full year to correct your mistake about Henry Ford inventing the automobile. (See comment from 2/26). It's still there.
Which comment? I can't find it.

This site is not meant to be accurate - it's for homeschooling christian kids.
We DO try to be accurate at all times. If you find something that you believe is inaccurate, please let us know.

Barack Obama's "biography" is not a biography but a collection of official images of the last 20 months of his life. Biography implies --the story of their life.
