History at SuiteU

© Wendy J. Dunn

I remember well how it used to be without the internet. Years ago, I researched my first novel without it. Until I learnt to avail myself of the convenience of interlibrary loans, I spent countless hours scouring shelves, often spending days fruitlessly searching libraries, trying to find out about a long dead Tudor poet.

Now the internet has made learning fun and easy -accessible to all with computers and internet connection.

Take Suite University for an example: Suite University is an exciting new concept in community education. Our students learn online - anytime, anywhere. SuiteU harnesses the power of the Internet to bring students a world of new information at an affordable price.

If you visit Suite University, and glance through our courses, you'll soon discover most of our course writers are published authors or carry credits that make them experts in their chosen field.

In the history area, we have courses such as: (Please note: the following descriptions of courses are written by their course writers.)

Battle of the Little Bighorn: 1872-1876

The Black Hills, per the 1868 treaty, belonged to the Sioux. Because of the panic of 1873 the United States Government's focused on the Black Hills and its gold.

Several factors directed the actions that President Grant and the government took which will be explored in this course. In brief, a column of troops led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer invaded the Black Hills in 1874. Gold was "officially" discovered which furthered the invasion.

The government requested that the Sioux sell the Black Hills, which they refused to do. This resulted in the government requiring that ALL Indians in the unceded area, including the Black Hills, move to the reservation by a certain date or be considered hostile, hunted down, taken prisoner, or killed. As very few "hostile" Indians came in a three-prong force was sent out to subdue these Indians. The result of this effort was the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Celtic Culture

This course explores the various peoples and places that make up the Celtic world. Although most people associate "Celtic" with "Irish," there are actually six Celtic countries/regions (Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, and Brittany) and each will be covered in this course. Along with an overview of their histories and literatures, we will also look at important contributions, famous people, landmarks and famous sites, art, language, film, music, and food.
