United States History and Geography: Growth and Conflict
Students in grade
eight study the ideas, issues, and events from the framing of the
Constitution up to World War I, with an emphasis on America's role in
the war. After reviewing the development of America's democratic
institutions founded on the Judeo-Christian heritage and English
parliamentary traditions, particularly the shaping of the Constitution,
students trace the development of American politics, society, culture,
and economy and relate them to the emergence of major regional
differences. They learn about the challenges facing the new nation, with
an emphasis on the causes, course, and consequences of the Civil War.
They make connections between the rise of industrialization and
contemporary social and economic conditions.
