Course

This course follows the history of the United States since 1877.  The primary purpose of this course is to give students an opportunity to learn about the history of America from the reconstruction period to the present.  This is a continuation of U.S. History that students learned about in the 8th grade.  Historical content will focus on political, economic, and social events and issues related to industrialization and urbanization, major wars, domestic and foreign polices, reform movements, and civil right movements.  Students will use critical-thinking skills and a variety of primary and secondary sources to explain and apply different methods that historians use to understand and interpret the past, including multiple points of view and historical context.
