Basic U.S. History

Welcome to Basic U.S. History.  In this course, we will study the foundation and

formation of the United States of America.  It can be said that our present-day

American society is the sum total of the events that have transpired throughout

our nation’s history.  Thus, in order to determine “why things are the way they are

today in the U.S.A,” we must first look back and study the origins and

development of America.  Furthermore, by understanding and learning from the

past, we stand a greater chance of succeeding as a nation in the future.
