Volume 2 - Vermont through Maine States 14-23: Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine The journey continues. America Well-Stated Volume 2 takes students from the Green Mountains of Vermont to the easternmost sunrise in the country - and through some of the most dramatic chapters in American history along the way. Students explore the pivotal history of Lake Champlain in Vermont, then travel to Kentucky to compare the lives of two famous men born in the same state who ended up on opposite sides of the Civil War. In Tennessee, they learn how Sequoyah's invention of the Cherokee syllabary transformed his people's lives and follow the outsized career of Davy Crockett. Ohio brings the story of the Underground Railroad and the twelve-year-old boy who helped choose the state's motto. Louisiana reveals ten flags flown over one state and the story of the world's longest bridge over water. Indiana surprises students with six Vice Presidents born within its borders. Mississippi introduces Isaac Cross and the story of the Teddy bear. Illinois honors Minnie Vautrin, whose heroism during World War II changed history. Alabama tells the story of Rosa Parks. And Maine closes the volume with the most easterly points in the entire country. Each state chapter includes multi-skill activities: secret codes, crossword grids, word searches, Sudoku variations, math equations, grammar practice, rhyming poems, and more. Designed for homeschool families and classroom teachers in grades 5-8. No prep required. Answers are included at the back of this volume. Part of a five-volume series covering all 50 states plus Washington DC.
