Web of Stories U.S. History: Free streaming history videos and activities Stick2 αq Hi. This was made by @antimatter15, in other words, me. Because I don't really like writing about myself or at least, I think I nailed narcissism with the last project's about page, so I'll just copy and paste it here. The source code is available on github. A totally irrelevant fact is that at time of writing I'm 15 years old, but that tends to make people treat this as more of an accomplishment than it really is and thus more inclined to share it. If you have you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to send a tweet in my direction @antimatter15 or email me at antimatter15@gmail.com. this app is made with jquery, html, raphael, icons from the crystal project, touchscroll, the jsgif project, based on the as3 gif lib, the raphael color wheel. Help Don't know how to use this app? Shameless Plugs there's tons of awesome things I've done.
America before Columbus History books traditionally depict the pre-Columbus Americas as a pristine wilderness where small native villages lived in harmony with nature. But scientific evidence tells a very different story: When Columbus stepped ashore in 1492, millions of people were already living there.

The English brought honeybees to the Americas for honey, but the bees pollinated orchards along the East Coast. Settlers in the Americas told of rivers that had more fish than water. In 1491, more people lived in the Americas than in Europe. It’s believed that the domestication of the turkey began in pre-Columbian Mexico, and did not exist in Europe in 1491.

It was all so boring to me. But there was a method to my madness -- you see, my Grandmother LOVED history!

In addition to sharing some of our favorite history movies, we're also listing hands-on activities that will help kids to dig a little deeper and learn about some of the historic events and people introduced in each film. Now you might be thinking "How is Mr.
