Understanding the events, trends, individuals and movements shaping the history of the United States is the goal of this sophomore level class. George Santayana said "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In a broader sense, students who can examine and analyze the events of the past have a powerful tool for understanding the events of today and the future. They develop an understanding of how people, nations, actions and interactions have led to today's realities.
