This class is a survey of Modern American History. We are going to discuss events, people and ideas ranging from the American Revolution through modern day. This site will be a great way to keep up with what we are doing in class. Check in to get notes, print off review guides, and get information for projects. I will also post extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.
