Question 1

What will I learn in Turning Points in American History?

Accepted Answer

This course would emphasize, in greater depth, 10-15 key turning points in American History. These turning points would be “hinge” events in our nation’s history, caused by, and subsequently contributing to, major social, cultural, political, and/or economic events. Turning points chosen for this course do not need to be events that have been popularly discussed in the standard United States History survey course. They should be “off centered” to allow students an opportunity to study, in depth, a potentially fresh topic in United States History. Thus, the Mexican War could be a turning point of emphasis, instead of a better-known war, such as the Civil War.
