Students examine evidence gathered by economic historians to understand historical events. Examples: Despite the 1862 Homestead Act's free land distribution to settlers, why did more people pay to settle out west? In their attempts to strike down segregation in the South, why did Homer Plessy fail in 1896 while Rosa Parks succeeded in 1955? Supplementing secondary U.S. History textbooks, the 2-volume set contains 17 units. Each summarizes historical facts and economic principles through case studies, lectures, and class discussion. Volumes contain overviews, lessons, and sample tests; lists of required instructional materials; and student handouts.Also available:United States history: Focus on economics - ISBN 1561834882THROUGH THE CIVIL WAR,UNITED STATES HISTORY EYES ON THE ECONOMY - ISBN 1561834807The Council for Economic Education envisions a world in which people are empowered through economic and financial literacy to make informed and responsible choices throughout their lives as consumers, savers, investors, workers, citizens, and participants in our global economy.
