Course Description/Outline/Objectives: 
This class will cover the history of our nation from 1865-as close to the present day that we can get. By taking a full year to study this 150 year period, we can learn about more than the timeline of events. We’ll discuss the leaders whose names most students know as well as the “regular people” who were affected by the decisions of those in charge. Not only will we learn what happened, but we’ll also explore how it happened, why it happened, and how it influenced what happened next. Students will compare the events of this time period to others, learning the phrase “History doesn’t repeat itself, people repeat history.” We’ll talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly in our national history. Students will be strongly encouraged to actively participate in discussions. Because I am a Christian and believe that God ordained the foundation of this country, I know no other way to teach it than from that perspective.
