In this lesson, we continue our exploration of America’s regional cultures, focusing on the Midlands and the unique traditions of the Amish community
We look at how the Midlands shaped U.S. history, politics, and culture—from Quaker and German roots to its role as America’s “great swing region.” Then, we dive into the Amish way of life: their values, traditions, and how they balance faith with modern society.
Perfect for high school and college students, history lovers, and anyone curious about American culture.
