Section Info:
Description: This history survey will examine the development of the United States since 1877: a year of consequence marked by the Electoral College settling a disputed election by declaring Rutherford B. Hayes (who lost the popular vote) president, thus ending Reconstruction (March); the surrender of Crazy Horse a year after the Lakota defeated General George Custer’s Seventh Calvary (May); and labor strikes and violence that roiled industry and halted cities from Baltimore to St. Louis (July-September). From the Gilded Age to the twenty-first century, students will examine the social movements, political debates, and economic disruptions, that shaped—and divided—the nation as it transitioned from a semi-rural agrarian society to an industrialized international power. Students will develop their analytical skills as they interpret primary sources that reflect the diversity of perspectives in the United States.
