History for Emerging Adults
The History Hour
The history hour at the table is the whole program: a named founding document before the tidy story, who-when-for-whom-against-what-problem before the body, then-words before now-lectures. A parent who is not a historian can run that hour for fifteen-to-eighteen — if an AP binder, an encyclopedia of years, or a fluent review-book paragraph is not allowed to pass as looking.
Editorial principle
The Constitution chain as documents with makers. Coverage is a map. Depth is the hour. Not a campaign speech.
