    Course Information & Skills

    Historical thinking toolkit

    Before the history, the tools. This unit is the set of moves you will use all year: read a source closely, work out who made it and why, decide how much to trust it, and then build an argument that uses evidence instead of just opinion.

    Geographic Context

    Before 1600 · Native North America

    North America is a huge place, and no two parts of it are the same. In this unit you look at the land, the climate and the resources of each region — and then at how the Native nations who lived there built different ways of life to match them.

    Colonial Developments

    1400s – 1750s

    New ships, new tools and new information made it possible for Europeans to sail farther than ever before. This unit follows what they were looking for, the three very different regions England ended up with along the Atlantic coast, and the systems of forced labour that made those colonies profitable.

    American Independence

    1754 – 1783

    A war between Britain and France left Britain in charge of far more land — and far more debt. This unit follows the taxes and laws that followed, the colonial protests they set off, the argument the colonists finally put in writing, and how a much smaller army won the war that came next.

    Historical Development of the Constitution

    1777 – 1791

    The first American government was deliberately weak — and it did not work. This unit follows what went wrong, the arguments and compromises at the Constitutional Convention, the three branches and checks and balances that came out of it, and the rights that were added afterward.

    Westward Expansion

    1790s – 1860s

    A young country that had just finished arguing about its own government started looking west. This unit follows how the United States reached the Pacific — by purchase, by treaty and by war — and asks who gained from that and who lost, because the answer is different depending on who you ask.

    A Nation Divided

    1820 – 1877

    The North built factories and cities. The South built plantations worked by enslaved people. For forty years leaders tried to hold the two together with compromises — and then stopped being able to. This unit follows that split from the first canal to the last surrender.
