American History II 8th Grade
Mr. William Sullivan

Eighth Grade studies the development of the new nation trough the 20th century. The years covered span roughly the ratification of the Constitution (1789) to the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989).

The text provides an easily readable overview of each era of American history with emphasis on the important people and events that shaped our nation. Interwoven in each topic is the influence and contribution that the Church has made in the expansion and growth of our nation. Along with the Founding Fathers and other great Americans of history, lives of the holy men and women who help build the Church in America are presented as excellent examples of those spending their lives for Christ and for souls.
