     There has been a decline of the cross-country car trip (which some may count as a blessing).  Hot (it was usually in the summer) with fussy, unhelpful siblings, and maybe the family dog, it gave a sense of places—city, farm, small towns, deserts, mountains, rivers that you traveled through.   We want to help students understand that when the Pilgrims landed near Plymouth Rock, and when the pioneers took their wagons on the Oregon trail, they were heading West, into the unknown. They knew they could never go back.  Now we—their descendents plus many, many others—fly almost casually from one coast to the other, and we can always go back to where we started—geographically, at least.
     Even more than the magnificent swath of a continent, plus two pieces, the US is the ideals upon which our nation was founded.  The United States in the first country to be founded upon a set of principles—freedom, equality and tolerance.
