grade 7 social studies

Seventh grade social studies focuses on the history of the United States after 1800. They spend time studying the United States from the early days, through the Civil War, both World Wars, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights era and into the present. Through all of this, students work to distinguish how the philosophies, structures, and influences have changed over time in the United States and differentiate between the branches of government and the role of historical events in shaping our current governmental functions.
