Each year, as the Fourth of July approaches, I feel the urge to teach our kids about the United States of America, its history, republic, founders, and constitution.  Hillsdale College, an indepedent, conservative college founded in 1844, offers lectures on many topics, including free college history courses on the United States of America.
