Welcome to our class website. This year we will focus on the History of the United States from 1865 to the Present. This period covers many exciting events, like the first and second World Wars, the first airplane flight, the Civil Rights movement, and Women’s Suffrage. We will start the year by refreshing our geography skills and then move through important eras chronologically. Get ready to travel back in time!
