18th Century Turning Points in U.S. History

When it airs: Overnight schedule  

Grades 7-12; Social Studies; Eight episodes
As the 18th Century dawned on the North American continent, four powers--- the French, the British, the Spanish, and the Native Americans--- were competing to see who would control this remarkable land. However, after half a century of almost continuous wars, a new entity emerged: The Americans. It would be the Americans, and not the other four powers, who would control what would become the United States.
