This course will seek to answer the question, "What is America?" In this course, students will develop a basic understanding of United States history as we look at it through the lens of four different views: economic, geographic, political, and social history. The history and conflicts in America will be studied and analyzed. Students will learn to analyze primary and secondary sources. Students will also become critical and independent thinkers, learning to express their views in a 5 paragraph essay.
