We begun the task of charting major events of historical importance as one way to learn about what makes America unique.
It is a daunting task attempting to trace American history listing only a few hundred major events.
As we are doing with our Notable People page, today we are compiling a short biography on each historical event, and within
30 to 45 days, our visitors will be able to click on a name, and a short presentation regarding that person and their effect on our lives will be played.
Check back often and see this amazing insight to our nations history unfold.
Additionally, if you think we forgot a any important event, drop us a line and make a suggestion. If you would like to
join the research team and help us with this huge task, let us know, we can use the help!
