Teaching Teens and Tweens US History: Slavery, Abolitionism, and the Road to the Civil War
As I was preparing to homeschool my teens for the first time, I asked my kids which social studies topics were the most interesting to them. My daughter told me she wanted to learn about the Civil Rights movement and slavery.
