US History I curriculum topics should include:

  • Voyages of Columbus and the relationship between the explorers and the American Indians
  • Colonization, the different colonies, and colonial life
  • The Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary war, the constitution, and the Bill of Rights
  • Washington’s presidency and the new political parties
  • The War of 1812 and the Monroe Doctrine

  • Sectionalism, slavery in American culture, and the rise of abolition
  • Life during the Civil War and the southern surrender
  • Lincoln’s goals for reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws

Time4Learning auto-assigns US History I, but parents have the ability to choose other subjects within the curriculum.

You can learn more about each lesson on our 9th grade scope and sequence and 9th grade lesson plans pages.
