Many times, U.S. History courses only encompass so much in the school year. Typically, this course ends at WWII, if teachers are lucky. There’s just so much history to cover in one year! So, this course will fill the gap of what happened AFTER WWII in U.S. history. Starting shortly after WWII, this course will encompass all the events in U.S. history ranging from the Korean War to the modern events today. In turn, students will develop an understanding of our modern sense of the world and how it has impacted us today.
