How has history shaped the modern United States of America? In this course, we will explore the history of the U.S. from the time when Indigenous peoples lived in most of North America until the present day. With a special eye for human stories and real perspectives, we will seek to understand the revolutionary ideas, the painful injustices, and the fierce desire for freedom that have shaped America throughout its history. By analyzing primary source documents, discussing history as a group, and practicing fundamental writing techniques, we will also cultivate the skills essential to getting the most out of a history course at an American high school. I hope that this course will help you develop greater knowledge about how America became the place that it is today, a sense of curiosity for the study of history, and a feeling of confidence in the high school classroom.
