The second quarter focuses on how the United States set up systems of power, and the roles that control, oppression, and privilege have played in shaping our country.
 In the third quarter, we look at the impacts of the Civil War and how resistance and liberation have transformed the nation. 
Finally, in the fourth quarter, students will research how the U.S. became a world power, and how this expansion and influence affects the world.
