This is so cool. Seriously. Go to this site and click on every picture to see all the brilliant, riveting takes on history that make up this collaborative project. United States history told in pictures, in all our glory and all of our shame. We are a weird and complicated nation, and this project says that louder than words can. The Momentus Project site explains this project as:

A collaborative project in which a select group of designers, illustrators, and artists create visual interpretations of the most defining moments in United States history as a way of informing others of our proud, yet sometimes troubled and forgotten past.

Contributors hail from around the globe as the most defining moments in United States history have often had a radical effect on the world abroad.
