This year we're finishing U.S. History and at the Spanish-American War. We're using this period to look at the biography of Teddy Roosevelt as well as the role of media and war. Last year, our kids looked at the Maine mystery and debated whether they thought the explosion was a deliberate act of terrorism or an unfortunate accident given the faulty design of the ship. They came to their conclusions by examining primary source material and engineering maps of the U.S.S. Maine here.
