Civics | Principles of American Government

And. . .

“If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering. But if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”

– Daniel Webster, December 22, 1820, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing at Plymouth Rock.

“Ben’s course equips Americans with the principles and mechanics of America’s form of government, allowing individuals to be confident in how to steward our nation for the next generation. It’s a must read! And I highly recommend it for teaching the next generation.” -Heather Hall, Homeschool Mom of 10
