Professor Mike Allen's 30-plus hour online video course covers everything from Christopher Columbus through the Reagan Revolution. New York Times and Amazon Best-Selling Co-Author, with Larry Schweikart, of A Patriot's History of the United States, Mike Allen's lectures are educational, entertaining, lively, and personable. Allen's lessons are "countercultural," as they go against the revisionist historians so popular in our country.
Allen weaves into his narration of American History his common sense and thoughtful attitude. Always posing the question, "Compared to what?" Allen challenges the revisionist interpretation of American history by showing what was happening throughout the world at the time Americans were establishing the freest republic on Earth. Allen's lectures not only teach history content, they compel the listener to challenge assumptions and modern-day interpretations of America's past. And on top of all of this, his lessons are entertaining and interesting.
This online video course comes complete with corresponding vocabulary words, images, maps, and after each five lessons, a multiple-question test that students need to pass in order to continue. Any high school student could take this course and count it as a full high school credit. This course may be used as a stand alone or as an addition to a home school classroom using Classical Historian's American history bundle. Once enrolling, the purchaser will receive login information within two business working days.
