Can you unscramble the following letters to produce a phrase relevant to US history? It's the first half of US history, i.e., up through the Civil War.

I subbed a US History class today and this was one of the assignments for the students. They spent all hour on it and didn't come up with it. I admit that I'm stumped. But I think it might be three words with the middle word "of" ... or not.

Already tried that, couldn't make any sense of it. Maybe you can.

You get some really interesting results if you type this in an anagram creator.

Yeah, I originally thought something with "West" or "Western" but I can't make it work. Also, "America" and "Africa" are out since there's no second "a."

There are a ton of good words in there. Scientists, racists, resistances

About the time of the revolution, I think. But the instructor maybe got bored ...

Was there a definitive word count?

There's at least 2 with A and W capitalized, but what about "is"?

This puzzle has consumed me for roughly the last hour, despite a pile of crap I have to get done ASAP. God help me

I'm assuming is and of could be in the middle, uncapitalized.
