The Institute presents a thirty-week course “History of the United States of America from the Civil War”. In the first year of US History, the Institute presented a thirty-week course “History of the United States of America” in which we studied the story of how the colonies fought for their independence, came together to form a union, wrote a Declaration of Independence and won their freedom from Britain. We continued on to study the new nation. This second year we will study the tragic story of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, Reconstruction, the Gilded Age and our last quarter will take us into the 20th Century and the story of how US enters the world (Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and World War I).
