Exploring the Christian Nation Debate and the Jamestown Fiasco in U.S. History

This educational activity delves into critical discussions surrounding America's founding principles and historical events. Participants will engage in a structured debate on whether the American Revolution resulted in a Christian nation and whether the Jamestown settlement was a fiasco. Key questions include the religious inclinations of the Founding Fathers, the concept of church and state separation, and the factors contributing to Jamestown's challenges. Teams will construct arguments, participate in cross-examinations, and write reflective pieces, supported by evidence.
