			Grade 8 social studies course covers United States history from the European colonization of the New World through the Civil War Era. Students explore other time periods and themes in United States history through teacher facilitated historical connections. Students gain an understanding of how our nation was settled, conceived and how it has changed over the years. Essential questions guide the study of our history. Students examine in what ways conflict and compromise, the drive for freedom and equality, the impact of geography, the diversity of American perspectives, the quest for economic opportunity, and America's leadership have defined the course of American history.
