Welcome to American History! This year, we will begin our study with a brief look at Native Americans then move into a journey and exploration of early European settlers. We will study early Americans as they worked toward independence, battled through the American Revolution, and worked to create “A More Perfect Union.” In the second semester, we will travel into the 1800s and a time of further political development, expansion, and conflict. We will look at the efforts of many reformers, how great waves of immigration impacted our nation, and finally how the Civil War and Reconstruction Era have had a lasting effect on the country we live in today.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: This site is to be strictly used for review, discussion, and presentation of materials related to 8th Grade American History. All students from Ms. Robinson's classes are welcome and encouraged to participate and use this site.
