 We moved away from the American Revolution and go on to 1850. We are using Homeschool in the Woods Early19th Century Pack  and other readings suggested by MFW Exploration to 1850, trying to piece them by time line. At the same time, we will do 2 to 3 states research every week, and 1 to 2 presidents every week. The plan is to finish 25 states this year, and 12 presidents.
