Roots of American Order

The political theorist Russell Kirk identified four cities that laid the foundation on which America was built: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, and London. In this class, we’ll talk about the history of these four cities and how both their troubles and triumphs created the precedent of freedom and rule of law that we enjoy today. Can count for civics or history credit.
