Welcome to Mr. Horton’s Louisiana History class! I am so happy to have you in my class this year. We will be exploring the economic, political, and social changes that have formed Louisiana’s identity! I will do my best to make learning as interesting and fun as possible. Specifically, we will be learning about the following topics:

• Louisiana’s Geography

• Colonial Louisiana

• The Antebellum Period

• The Civil War and Reconstruction Era

• Jim Crow Louisiana

• The Civil Rights Era

• Modern Day Louisiana

I am excited for the opportunity to be at Haughton Middle School! Please know that I am here to help you however I can, so never hesitate to ask questions! Remember, your success is determined by the amount of effort you put into something. I am looking forward to a successful rest of the year.

Mr. Horton
