The main point of the project was to teach the youth about the "true" America. The American Experience Project officailly began in the winter of 2075, a tactic that the U.S. government used to have a massive swelling of American Pride. The Project mainly focused on historical aspects of America: from the founding of the nation and everything up to current times. Exhibits were built all over cities, while television, radio and billboards were plastered with patriotic advertisements, all leading up to a major, nation-wide celebration of the American Tricentennial (July 4, 2076).
