From BJU Press- US History is a chronological study of the major events in the history of the United States, from the culture of the Native Americans to the early days of the Trump presidency. The course helps students see the past through the corrective lens of a biblical worldview. It leads students to evaluate people, events, and movements from biblical teaching, giving special attention to the rise and growth of secularism. The course also leads students to propose solutions to social problems based on biblical teaching.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Cultural Geography

Students are led to do history, not just read about it. The course will require them to interpret primary sources, drawing and combining reasonable inferences from both primary and secondary sources to build an understanding of complex issues. Evaluating Historical Perspectives Students are confronted with multiple perspectives on significant events in U.S. history. They are required to compare and contrast these perspectives and then judge them based on the teachings of Scripture.

The student has a weekly study guide that they use for reference and to answer the questions after each reading. Parents have a study guide answer key available to them to grade and enter polls. In class students will participate in discussions and activities. They will also be preparing presentations to share with the class throughout the year.

This is an updated text. The text we have used in the past may be available but the student activities book is no longer available. Students need the updated version of BOTH.
