Grades 7-9 For You They Signed: The Spiritual Heritage of Those Who Shaped Our Nation

For Grades 7-9

For You They Signed (All in One Edition): The Spiritual Heritage of Those Who Shaped Our Nation is a unique open-and-go homeschool curriculum designed to teach junior high students America’s history and its Christian roots. While many work to erase our nation’s history of honoring Almighty God, this course uses source documents to reveal the truth. Students will learn about each of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, study Christian character traits, and much more.

Study the Christian heritage of those who shaped America in Marilyn Boyer’s revised For You They Signed. This all-in-one edition offers both the student text as well as the assignments, quizzes, and cumulative tests.

This study of our Christian heritage is focused on the historical events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. The early Founding Fathers of the United States of America were men of principle who debated important points of government, liberty, and the God-given rights of mankind. Their work and sacrifice created an enduring legacy that led to some of the most influential documents in history, like the Constitution of the United States of America.

In this American history homeschool curriculum, your junior high students will have an opportunity to learn how the American colonists chose to respond to the increasing tyranny of the British Empire and why the course of revolution was one they took after all other efforts at relief had failed.
