What does it mean to be an American? What affects the choices we make? What do success and failure bring out in people? What is our responsibility to others and ourselves? We will consider these questions as we study America's history from the Antebellum Period through the Cold War. We will think about what determined our nation's actions, values, and national identity and the effects of those beliefs and deeds. We will view history not merely as "the past," but as an important influence upon America today. Students will also practice valuable social and study skills throughout the year.
