United States History since 1860

In fifth grade, students continue their formal study of United States history.  As with fourth grade, the strands of history, geography, civics and economics are fully integrated.  Students study US history beginning with the Civil War and continue to the present.  The geography strand emphasizes the influence on US history.  The civics strand emphasizes concepts and rights as outlined in amendments to the US Constitution.  The economics strand uses material from the historical strand to further understanding of economic concepts.
