The Henry Ford Museum | Part II: Episodes in U.S. History (1860-1963)

We’re back at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan with our old friend, U.S. and world history teacher Jeff Koslowski. After a brief introduction on the origin of the United States, Mr. Koslowski walks us through key episodes in U.S. history from the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

A common thread through many of the episodes and exhibits is the enduring struggle for freedom, as the United States worked to better realize its promise of “Liberty and Justice for all.” This is something American schoolchildren recite in the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States and something toward which the country continues to strive to this day.

Nice walk through over 100 years of American history. Cool to see some of the spaces/physical items that were a part of history in this video as well!
