Navigate a sea of change as you continue your exciting journey through American history!

This year you and your children will continue your study of American history from the 1850s to the present day with an emphasis on social history, rather than on military, political or civil. Core 4 Introduction to American History, Part 2 completes the 2-year study that you began in Core 3.

This year you will...

  • Journey with Abraham Lincoln as he navigates the treacherous waters of the American Civil War, frees the slaves and begins the healing of a nation once divided.
  • Investigate the Great Depression and discover how this time of desperation changed the social structure and economic structures of many countries including the United States and lead the world to the brink of another World war.
  • Marvel at the way William Wilberforce helped Britain to achieve, without bloodshed, what it took America a civil war to accomplish.
  • Encounter the rich history and culture of Canada as you explore the vast geography of this, the world's second largest country.
  • And much more...

Your key resources will be books 3 and 4 of Franklin Escher, Jr.'s The Story of the U.S.A. and Daniel Boorstin's Landmark History of the American People. You'll also read engaging biographies, works of historical fiction and other masterfully told stories that will unveil the trials and triumphs of America—"land of the free, and home of the brave."

History and Geography 4 are fully integrated with the History 4 Read-Alouds and Readers 4 packages to bring American history to life for your children.
