The seven units
Industrial America and the Gilded Age. The Progressive Response. World War II and the Reordering of Society. The Sixties: Vietnam, Rights, and Backlash. Conservative Resurgence and the End of the Cold War. Globalization and a Post-Cold War World. The Twenty-First Century: Security, Recession, and Renewed Movements.
The same fights, again
How much power should the federal government have, who counts as a full citizen, should America get involved overseas: these questions keep returning in new clothes every twenty or thirty years.
Real documents
A student reads strike testimony, propaganda posters and Supreme Court opinions, and practices building an argument from evidence.
The first half
United States History to Reconstruction, with Civics is the grade 8 course, and The American Story Begins is grade 5.
What this is not
- It is one course among many. You decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
- It cannot promise any college will accept a homeschool transcript. It prints one of what was taught and mastered, and your family issues it.
- It is a survey in seven units, so some periods get a unit and not a deep dive.
