Antebellum
From sea to shining sea. We went from 13 little colonies to 50 wonderful states, but how did we do it and who received the butt end of the stick?
"Ante" meaning before, and "Bellum" meaning war, this latin word is given to the era before the Civil War. What caused this nation to split? Was it really all about slavery?
Civil War
Reconstruction
The most deadly war in American History. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were lost, but for what cause? Lets dive in as we learn about the war that split the nation and families, and remember those who gave their lives for this nation. Brothers fought against brothers, fathers fought against sons, this war is one that nothing can compare to.
After a nation that was devastated by loss, lets watch as Lincoln's predecessors try and "Reconstruct" a war torn nation.
Who was the most stubborn? Was it John Q. Adams who felt he was always right, or the big bad Andrew Jackson? Did you know Andrew Jackson was robbed the 1824 election? Did you know Andrew Jackson was shot during duels and lived to tell about it all while having the bullet still buried in his arm? His personal vendettas and success led him to being one of the most notorious presidents of the 1800s.
