The
purpose of this web site is to assist students and teachers in U.S.
history
courses. One of the real challenges that both students and teachers
face
in taking a survey history course is the overwhelming amount of
material that must be
covered.
For some, understanding of the big picture gets lost in the sheer
volume of facts, dates,
people,
and movements. So this site attempts to clarify, simplify, and
synthesize
the
facts without making history overly simplistic.
This page was designed to
assist
students in Greg Feldmeth's A.P. U.S. History course offered at Polytechnic School in Pasadena,
California. Those students have made numerous recommendations to the
page and corrected errors. A number of teachers and students at the
high school and
college
level have also visited the site, made suggestions as to
improvements, and
volunteered
to help broaden its coverage.
If
you find this site helpful, have questions or comments, or would like
to make
suggestions, please e-mail
and let me know where you're from. Feel free to reproduce any part of
it for a class assignment or web site. Just provide a link or
acknowledge the source and let me know that you've done so.
