Hello! My name is Mr. Smith and I would like to welcome you to the study of United States History! This will be fun and exciting as well as challenging and time consuming. Historical analysis is done through a variety of lenses, most historians believe twenty years is a minimum time frame to allow "the dust to settle" and study an issue from a historical perspective. But as you will learn this year, we will look at current events as well as events from the past to try to make sense of them. To be successful in this course, as well as being a productive member of society, means that you need to actively participate in the world you are a part of. This blog will be an integral part of how we will be accomplishing this task.
I will you see soon,
Mr. Smith
