United States History Since 1877 Course Outline

The study of history helps society remember where society has been and where it is going.  Our own lives would be meaningless if one had no memory of who you were or what you had done.  Every society looks to its history for a sense of identity.  This course will look at events, through: text, maps, charts, graphs, political cartoons, and historical cartoons to see where our country has been and where it is going.  The student goal is to become prepared for the End of Course (EOC) that will be taken in the spring of next year.

The Course Units are:

  I.  Foundations: Background to American History Prior to 1877  

 II.  American Society in Transition

III.  Industrialization and the "Gilded Age"
