This Week:
HATCHED! - Creating a Constitution [1777-1789]


"The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world."
James Madison

We are on the verge of creating the U.S. Constitution...but it will take convincing half the nation of Southerners to either give up slavery...or COMPROMISE...and force small states to give up their equal representation...or COMPROMISE...and nudge larger states to not demand more representation...or COMPROMISE...

...hmmm...I guess the whole thing was a "BUNDLE OF COMPROMISES"...and it kept our freedom alive!





Keep learning your U.S. Presidents...
Keep reviewing the first 33 PRESIDENTS! - make sure you know their names (first and last)!

Here's the sheet if you need it again.
