Welcome to History!

In addition, in this class, students will study the American Revolution and investigate the foundational documents of the United States, including the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

They will learn about the important historical events and diverse actors of the American Colonies, Revolution, and the New Nation. Students will study how culture shapes laws, how laws ensure rights and responsibilities for the people who live within a society will we and discuss how these ideas manifest today. We will learn about many different people and perspectives of the early years of the United States.
