Initially, the conflict was largely a European affair until an impressive piece of spy work by the British intelligence community brought the USA into the conflict. Key Questions: How and why did the U.S. become involved in the Great War? How was the United States able to stay out of the war initially? What were the factors that led to the U.S. declaration of war? What were the logistics behind U.S. mobilization? How did the U.S. strategy differ from that of the Allies? How and when did the war end? Contains links to student materials and teacher materials for creating lesson plans.

Moreover, they will analyze how different women experienced historical events differently, leading to widely different points of view about the Civil War. 

For a quarter century, the federal government provided funding for cities large and small to raze "blighted" or "slum" neighborhoods. Though improved housing opportunities was the ostensible goal, over time, cities used federal funds to stimulate commercial and industrial redevelopment. Through these programs, cities displaced hundreds of thousands of families from their homes and neighborhoods. Renewing Inequality visualizes those displacements and urban renewal more generally.

In this lesson students will investigate and describe the social and economic impacts and aftermath of riots of the 1960s using primary and secondary sources in a Google Hyperdoc.
