8th Grade US History

​

U.S. History focuses on the American Revolution through the Civil War and Reconstruction Eras (1754-1877) in which scholars describe and analyze the major causes, key events, and important personalities of the American Revolution. We examine in greater depth the factors, events, documents, significant individuals, and political ideas that led to the formation of the United States of America. These are pursued through a chronological study of the early national period, westward expansion, and the Civil War and Reconstruction Eras. Citizenship skills focus on the historic development and understanding of constitutional government in the United States.
