How do American Christians justify the American revolution?

[Wishing Whale]

I can tell you from one perspective.

My own childhood.

They teach that a lot of the founders were good Christian men, who loved Jesus, God and Country and Believed in their God given rights.

It's taught how they almost were saintlike the way I learned about it.

But I went to school riding some strange patriotic wave of eighties evangelicalism reaganistism.

Until Clinton admitted actually outright he did that even though he was a democrat. He was still the president.

In our house we had a picture of whoever was president.

When my brother died in the Iraq war, they finally stopped entirely.

Patriotism and Americanism were a big part of my childhood.

I thought this was the national anthem until the mid 90s.

I don't know if they still exist, but look up ACE and the Pace Program, the Abeka Curriculum.

They made their own history books you can probably find on eBay.

I used Abeka growing up. Very high quality stuff.

Generally I agree with that when it comes to their English program. I was very ready for college, my English teachers would be like you read what in highschool.

PACE however not so much.

It is more entertaining though.

I'd say full stop. The only weakness of the Abeka program in terms of science and mathematics is that its so rigorous that realistically unless you have a very solid memory of mathematics and science they will be very much on their own by 11th grade. This gets very hard around Geometry/Chemistry.

And oh yeah, PACE is garbage tbh.

My advice for Christian homeschoolers is to use either Abeka or BJU Homeschooling Press. If you get them to maintain Bs in Abeka or BJU they will breeze through anything non-STEM in college from the strong writing, researching, and reading skills developed.

And my advice as one of those kids is.

Don't do it.

Seriously do not if you actually want your children to grow up and share your religion so you make it something daunting, hopeless, terrible.

And once you leave your counter cultural bubble you never really completely don't have at least a few times a year you suffer for it.

Unschool not homeschool.
