Timeline question for Bigger

[anointedhsmom]

We have a wall timeline that we really like so I was planning on using it for our timeline in Bigger instead of what the manual says to make. We can move the dates around on our timeline to make more room between dates and I am wondering which dates should I give more space between for the Bigger manual. I hope that makes sense Like our timeline starts at 4000 BC (Creation) and goes to current. The next date is 3500 BC. So should I crowd together some dates that we won't focus on much for Bigger and give more space to the ones that we will do in Bigger and if so what dates would be the best to give more space between?

Thanks for any help,
Paige

Paige,

Bigger covers strictly American history, so you won't start your dates until around the time of the explorers like Columbus (1400's or so). Then, you'll end up with the Vietnam War era around the 1970's or so. You'll have quite a few entries in the early founding years of America (1700's) and during the time she becomes a nation of her own (1750's-1850's), so you'll want to leave more time for those entries. On our Bigger timeline suggestion, we go in 50 year increments rather than 100 year increments... so that may help you too.

Blessings,
Carrie
