Students will be able to analyze the European Enlightenment climate that led to the creation of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Students will be able to elaborate on the causes and effects of the three main wars during this time period; The American Revolution, The War of 1812, and The Civil War. Students will be able to discuss non-dominant view points during the beginning of America, including that of African slaves, Freed African Americans, Native American Indians, and women. Students will be able to demonstrate understanding through the written word of the United States Constitution and its implications. Students will be able to compare and contrast the United States Constitution, and thus synthesize the concepts of Federalism and States Rights. Students will be able to describe the ideals of Reconstruction, and analyze the realities.
