American History Committee

Purpose: To focus on people, places, landmarks, symbols, dates, and events significant in American history. Members are encouraged to learn about the development of our country from colonial times to the present.

Program: Learn about the children who exemplified Liberty’s Legacy during the American Revolution, the events and more that forwarded the patriot cause. Some examples are Daniel Applegate, Andrew Jackson, Sybil Ludington, and Caleb Stark. 

Ideas for possible activities: 

1. Identify young patriots and learn about how their service propelled Liberty’s Legacy. 

2. Design artwork and displays that highlight the impact of youth in the American Revolution to showcase in your community.

 3. Write letters as if you were a young patriot during the American Revolution and imagine how your life changed during the war. 

4. Rewrite the Declaration of Independence from the perspective of a child living during the American Revolution or a child of today. 

5. Create and play games educating members on the impact of children in the American Revolution and/or the Declaration of Independence. 

These are just SOME ideas for possible activities for this contest. We encourage and would like to see you create something new and exciting with your society for your submission.
