They Made America.

  Although this is a companion site to a PBS mini-series airing in 

November 

2004, the content easily stands alone. Students can investigate the 

stories of 

influential "great minds" whose entrepreneurial spirits dramatically 

affected 

American industry and culture and then play an NCAA-style "tournament" 

to

techniques used

timber 

dating, and document examin

maps, and lesson plans that can easily stand alone. Click on "Chronicle 

of

Revolution" to find a collection of newspaper articles that focus on 

historical headlines. An assortment of interactive activities allows 

students 

to experience daily life in the colonies, discover the differences between 

American and British soldiers, and test their "Revolutionary" know
