The History Channel recently aired a series of programs that was called America the Story of Us. It starts off in 1607 when the first boats arrived in Jamestown from the British colony. It also showed the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock later on. This TV program started with the white man first taking a step on this land and went from there. It showed how wars and technology shaped this country and how America became a super power today.

I thought this TV special was very good and there really isn’t anything around, that shows all the steps to how America was created. I think schools should start showing this program to their classes in the 7th grade and show it each year; until they graduate from the 12th grade. Let students watch this History Channel special on America each year for 6 years and more Americans would have knowledge and an understanding of how we got to where we are today. America the Story of Us is no longer showing on the History Channel. The series finale was on Monday, but you will probably be able to catch future showings; when they re-air this TV program. Keep a lookout for it, so you can watch this powerful TV series from the History Channel.
