United States History: Pre‑Columbian to Reconstruction

This course examines U.S. history from early Indigenous civilizations, through European exploration and colonization, to the founding era and Reconstruction. Students study founding documents, major political and social developments, the causes and consequences of expansion and slavery, and the roles of key leaders while developing historical inquiry, source analysis, research, and writing skills.

Materials needed:

Students will need a copy of the book "Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History In One Big Fat Notebook - 2nd Edition" by Workman Publishing and Philip Bigler. ISBN: 978-0-7611-6083-0 (New on Amazon for 8.99, but cheaper other places if purchased used.) (Link for reference: https://a.co/d/a2mLQZg)

If students are using the first edition - there might be a few chapter changes that won't match up- but it shouldn't hinder too much from the class.
