I have found out today that my efforts to start an early American History survey course has been approved. Some of you who already have such a thing might be saying, “So What.” Thus, allow me to explain.
Starting next year, here in our School District in Colorado, U.S. History A and B will start post-Reconstruction with the Gilded Age. No more early American history. I made a proposal to keep this time period, up to 1877, as a “U.S. History Studies” class as they wanted to call it. Well it has been approved and I have a few weeks to write a description and propose a list of essentials! I look forward to this and to teaching the class next fall!
Chris that’s great! I also read that Anonymous comment at Civil War Memory … It’s interesting, Levin gets mad when you allow people to attack him here, yet he as no problems with people attacking you on his site. Another case of the Hypocritical nature of him.
I’m not sure what you mean Mike?
Mike, Mr. Levin runs the best blog around and never allows such attacks!
