Publisher's Description of A Concise History of the American Republic Year I Teacher Guide

This course has transitioned from a 2-year course to a 1-year course. This is an older edition book, and will be available until sold out. 

This full-year course is designed to give students a very good understanding of the period of history from pre-1615 life in North America through the post-Civil War Reconstruction years, ending in 1877. This includes early European explorations, the colonial period, the founding of the United States, the Revolutionary War, the development of our government, and the principles upon which it is based, the expansion of our national borders, the War of 1812, the development of political parties, the Mexican War, and the Civil War, along with its causes and results. Social, economic, and political issues are addressed throughout the book.

Our Student Guide provides reading notes for each chapter, as well as comprehension questions that help students focus on the most important information from each chapter. The Teacher Guide includes three tests.

A Concise History of the American Republic is a curriculum that addresses political, cultural, and economic aspects of American history. The 800+ page Text is a reader that is divided into 36 chapters. Covering pre-Columbian native American history and cultures briefly, it provides a grand and detailed sweep of American history through the Reagan Era, with chapters tending toward 10-30 year segments. Marked by authoritative scholarship yet written in a narrative style and illustrated with 30 maps and over 250 paint­ings, cartoons, and photographs, this will be both a challenging and an enjoyable read for the serious student. 

The Student Guide is consumable, providing a course outline with worksheets for each chapter broken into the following categories: Introduction, Key Concepts, Comprehension Questions, Essay Questions, and Other Activities. The Quizzes & Tests book helps evaluate student progress and mastery for all 36 chapters. The Teacher Manual includes an introduction, overview, summary, and conclusion for each chapter, with reduced student pages and answers filled in. This course can be used in either a class or homeschool setting, but students will receive the most benefit when there is oppor­tunity for engaging discussion/conversation with a teacher or parent.

Note: This course has transitioned from a 2-year course to a 1-year course. Older edition books, titled “Year 1” and “Year 2” will be available until sold out.
