Chris and Casey give a general overview of the exploration, settlement, and establishment of the American colonies that would later become the United States. After giving some background for the motivations and means of settling in the New World, they highlight the major settlements of America. These include Jamestown, New Plymouth, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Some important topics include religious liberty, government structure, indentured servitude, and slavery. They conclude with some practical lessons for Christians and non-Christians about following your convictions, taking risks, loving the brethren, and considering how your actions will unintentionally affect others.
