Unit 5. The Nation Breaks Apart.
This unit consists of Chapters 16+17. This is the shortest unit of the book but is extremely important. We use what we learn in unit 4 to analyze why the South split from the Union and how the Civil War spreads along the border states. The ripples of state's rights, slavery, and the divisions of the rich and poor are still being felt today. It helps explain who we are as a Nation not just another war in our history.
Unit 4. The Nation Expands.
This unit consists of Chapters 12-15. We start developing an understanding for the differences between the people in the three early regions of the US. We look at the agricultural South, the urban and industrial North, as well as the homesteading West.
Unit 3. The New Republic.
This unit consists of Chapters 8-11. We will see the development of the great nation and empire developing and expanding over the early 19th century. Together we will understand the influences of the Jefferson and Jackson Eras.
Unit 2. A New Nation.
This unit consists of Chapters 5-7. Here we learn about the Founding Documents of the US government. We get an inside look at how the constitution established the foundations for citizenship.
Unit 1. Our Colonial Heritage.
This unit consists of Chapters 1-4. We will explore the Americas before the Europeans started colonization. We then explore the what the 13 colonies were like to live in before the Revolution as well as what drove the colonists to feel that they needed to rise up against the United Kingdom.
