Concentration in the American Revolution (24 semester hours)

APUS offers one of the nation’s only graduate concentrations on the American Revolution. Students study the philosophies, personalities, strategies, leadership, and other factors that led to, influenced, and resulted from the United States of America’s foundation and permanent break from Great Britain. As a major event in the larger sweep of the Enlightenment, the following aspects of the American Revolution are analyzed: principles of colonialism, monarchy, democracy, republic, and nation-building; military leadership, strategies and individual soldiers on each side; international diplomacy; economics; and American culture.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this concentration, the student will be able to:

• Dissect and critique the American Revolution from its antecedents to its legacy including events leading to the revolt, Declaration of Independence, strategy and tactics, campaigns, and the aftermath of war on the new nation.
• Analyze the American Revolution in reference to the operational contributions of American and British military leadership using selected land battles as examples of the strategies and tactics involved.
• Evaluate an early and pivotal campaign in the American Revolution by critiquing the strategy, tactics, and results of campaign on the subsequent course of the Revolution and post-war Anglo-American relations.
• Explain the perspective of the American Revolution from the British viewpoint in relation to colonial policies, diplomacy, military leadership, and other influences in Great Britain during and after the war.
• Assess and critique the conclusive military strategy of the American Revolution and why the strategy was distinctive from other military theatres of operation.

Boeing messed up my Voucher. The email says it’s for the first Humanities class. The Voucher attachment says it’s for the first History class.

Do I pay for the first Humanities class myself, or do I follow the lead of Boeing’s mistake and go in the History direction instead?

I will probably head for Cybersecurity after this sequence.

I was medically laid off from Boeing in 2022 and have an education benefit I can use to pay for half of my Masters degree in either some form of History or in Humanities based on the Great Books of the Western World.

The benefit is $3,000 per calendar year and runs out Jul 2025 (after three years).

I can squeeze two classes in this year, two more next year, and two more classes in the early part of 2025.

It helps that I chose an affordable degree program in the first place.

I have looked at Liberty University as well, but I am going with American Public University.

John Tilley, his wife Joan, and daughter Elizabeth were passengers on the Mayflower. John’s brother Edward, with his wife Ann/Agnes were also passengers; Elizabeth was the sole survivor of the first winter.

John Tilley, was born at Henlow, Bedfordshire, where he was baptized on 19 December 1571, the son of Robert and (poss.) Elizabeth (     ) Tilley. He married at Henlow, 20 September 1596, Joan (Hurst) Rogers. He and his wife died in the general sickness of the first winter in 1620, leaving their daughter Elizabeth an orphan.

John signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 November 1620, as the ship was anchored at Provincetown Harbor. On 6 December 1620, John joined one of the expeditions along the inner coastline of Cape Cod under the leadership of Myles Standish. It was during this expedition that the party found and selected Plymouth as the site of the future settlement. John was likely on the other two expeditions as well and it was during these expeditions that the men became sick from the freezing weather.

Note that in 1999, a descendant of Robert² and Mary (Hawkins) Tilley traced her line and was able to join the General Society of Mayflower Descendants through Robert’s parents, John and Joan Tilley of the Mayflower.
