1 11 th Grade US History Unit 1 Unit 1: Exploration And The Thirteen Colonies, Synopsis: Students will get an understanding of how European settlers created colonies in North America that were already inhabited by Native Americans.

Lastly, describe the impact enlightenment thinkers had on the ideas for Revolution. Content Specific Powered Standards 3.2 Analyze and evaluate human action in historical and/or contemporary contexts from alternate points of view. The early development of the Americas was predicated on colonial rivalry based in Europe. The cultural clash that occurred during the birth of the Atlantic world produced both positive and negative effects. To what extent did the birth of the Atlantic World represent the clash of three distinct cultures?

2 Unit 2 Unit 2: The American Revolution, Synopsis: Escalating tensions over British control of the colonies resulted in a true revolt against British rule. The colonists established a new government for themselves and won their independence. The American Revolution was the culmination of growing tensions between Britain and her independently-minded colonist. Was the American Revolution justified? What factors led to the growing American sense of independence? 2

3 Unit 3 Unit 3: Balancing Liberty and Order, Synopsis: A new government was adopted under the Constitution. Differences in how government should be implemented led to the rise of political parties. The growth of the nation, along with the War of 1812, gave Americans a strong sense of national pride. The Constitution is considered the supreme law of the land and is designed to be a living document. What were some of the major challenges faced by the new nation? How did the young government deal with those challenges? What were the causes of the War of 1812? 3

4 Unit 4 Unit 4: Emerging New Nation, Synopsis: The United States defended its authority to regulate interstate commerce and declared the Western Hemisphere off limits for future colonization. Sectional differences led to disagreements over slavery. While Native Americans were forced to move west, reform movements focused on social issues and the rights of women and African- Americans. Amidst these struggles the United States fulfilled its Manifest Destiny. Content Specific Standards 3.2Analyze and evaluate action in historical and/or contemporary contexts from alternate points of view.

Key battles/turning points are discussed, and the effects (both immediate and long-term) are explored. The Civil War was based on the struggle between national supremacy and states' rights. Reconstruction failed to make substantive changes in society for African-Americans living in the South. To what extent were sectionalism and states' rights the underlying causes of the Civil War? What were the costs of war? Was it worth the sacrifice? To what extent was Reconstruction successful? 5

6 Unit 6 Unit 6: The Rise of Industrial America, Synopsis: Following the turmoil of the Civil War and Reconstruction, the US began its transformation from a rural nation to an industrial, urban nation linked by railroads.

How did the expansion of United States markets abroad influence the rise of imperialism? 7

8 Unit 8 Unit 8: Boom Times to Hard Times, Synopsis: America s victory overseas led to turmoil at home. The end of the wartime economy led to a depression and fears of communism, as strikes, riots and bombings took place. The economic and cultural climate of the twenties and thirties led to conflict that resulted in government intervention. To what extent did the twenties and thirties represent a conflict between Americans willing to adopt change and those who resisted change? 8

9 Unit 9 Unit 9: Hot and Cold War Synopsis: After WWII ended, tensions continued to rise over the amount of freedom the Soviets were going to allow the nations they controlled. Leaders of Britain, the US, and the Soviet Union held conferences but could not resolve this issue. 3.2Analyze and evaluate action in historical and/or contemporary contexts from alternate points of view. During the thirties and forties, the rise of aggressor nations challenged American foreign policy.
