This video is about the biography of perhaps the most successful general of the Civil War, George H. Thomas, who never lost a battle, and who is little known today is discussed. Explained is the fact, unlike General Lee, he decided that nation was above state and Thomas worked for the Union. This could be a good research project for students and, perhaps, a debate between Lee and Thomas and which one really did the most for the nation.

This is an hour long video that goes into considerable detail about George Mason. It is a lecture, but the topic is interesting as it deals with Founding Father George Mason (1725-1792), who was known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights." George Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the model for the Bill of Rights, refused to sign the U.S. Constitution when it did not include the Bill of Rights. Mr. Broadwater described Mason's roles in the Stamp Act Crisis, the American Revolution, and the drafting of Virginia's first state constitution. For older students.

Imagine being a young avant garde artist in the 1880s, committed to the principles that Cezanne was espousing, interested in science and technology and wondering how your ideas were going to play out? That describes Georges Seruat and chromoluminarism...the very specific approach to painting that he developed. (14:04)
