This nation has long been called the “American Experiment”—an attempt to see if people could work together in a republic rather than having to be held together by a monarchy. In this year-long course, which covers the development of the American republic from its roughshod infancy through the turmoil of the 1960s, students will see how Americans have kept the country together so far, how they have almost ripped it apart more than once, how they might keep it together for the future, and how the American story connects to the grander narrative of the human experience.
The textbook for this year-long course, A Concise History of the American Republic, Second Edition, is a compact, authoritative, gracefully written narrative of American history. It travels from the Native American forebears to the economic conflicts of the Reagan administration. Its distinguished authors embrace the full range of the American experience—economic, and social, literary and spiritual, political and military.
The Student Guide covers all Key terms, Dates, figures, and Structures, as well as utilizes primary source studies and comprehension and essay questions. The Teacher Manual provides a helpful Overview and Summary for each chapter, as well as answers and teacher helps for all content covered. The Quizzes & Tests evaluate student progress and ensure mastery of the material.
