David's Dibs:
Do you live outside the United States ? How about inside ? Well you should know a bit about our nation's history and how laws are conceived and supported today as well as becoming familiar with our founding Fathers and what they stood for.
And if you do live outside the United States, you should also be interested in these videos as they show how we, of the USA came originally from England, then had a war with our homeland, and ultimately declared our independence from them.
What things in your country are different from ours ? Why do you think they are this way ? If you had a chance to change, revoke, or make new laws, what would they be ? What would be your reasons ?
It's a long journey up to where we are now here on planet Earth.
And with such cute animations and catchy tunes, you can't help but learn a little.
