This unit saved my homeschool!
Just when we were fed up with our textbooks and looking for something else, I came across this unit online.
We homeschool loved everything about this unit and it was easy to teach across the subjects and grade levels. It was as advertised.
Thought I would leave a review to help other parents decide. This is a really good unit without fluff.

This was hands down one of the best unit studies I have ever found on this subject. Others were just prompts. But thank you for creating a real unit that deep dives into the events of fourth of July and all the many resources that you gave in this unit.
My homeschool class did this for about two almost three months because they loved it so much and there was so much to explore.
My class consisted of 5th to 12 graders. Thank you for the mini book you wrote for the unit too, it helped my students accomplish some of their work without me, as I also work from home.
I think this unit is perfect for the parents who want a more relaxed experience to school for a while, but also not giving up too much.
