HUGUENOTS

Have you noticed how some periods in history are much more tumultuous than others? Take the 1500s and 1600s in Europe, for example. Many people were protesting policies set by the Catholic Church in Rome. As the division between those who opposed and those who followed widened, conflicts arose and war followed. Join CALLIOPE for a look at what was happening in France in these years. Find out why so many Huguenots met death for their beliefs, and why so many were forced to leave France. Accompany those who did leave and learn where their journeys took them. Meet their descendants - Paul Revere for one, and Carl Fabergé for another. Then travel to a town in the United States that continues to preserve its Huguenot heritage. This issue is one that's sure to help you understand how today's policy makers can learn a few lessons from the past.
