Throughout this course, you will experience United States History (1890 - Current Day) through four thematic units of study. Through these units, students will be exposed to historical events within that theme, be given an opportunity to explore more on their own, and be brought up to the present day and where that theme impacts the students now. Our focus will not simply be on memorizing people, events, movements, wars, etc. but rather we will look at key concepts throughout our history and gain an understanding of how our nation’s past is relevant and important to us today.
