Welcome to our AP US class blog! We will cover the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to present day. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

Due Monday Feb. 18th

Please read and take notes starting on page 509 with "Indian Peoples and the Western Environment" through the end of the chapter on page 529.

Try to read and absorb as much as possible about Native American life and their struggle with white expansion and the US Army, and then mining and railroad construction, from pg. 509 to 522. While reading pp. 522-29, focus mostly on Boomers/Sooners, the Homestead Act, Boomtowns (like Denver), and the "Wild West."

Enjoy the long weekend!
