Age of Industry and Expansion
In this unit, we study the third quarter of the nineteenth century. During this time, the United States endured one of its biggest trials: the Civil War, which raged and ravaged four years — from April of 1861 to April of 1865.
For American students, the Civil War takes center stage of most studies of this period, but it was not the only event that deeply affected world history. The expansion of British and American trade into Asia, the union of the Italian and German states, and the deterioration of the Concert of Europe are also events worthy of our attention.
As nations in Europe consolidated and America emerged a single nation after the divisive Civil War, students will continue to follow the theme of God’s merciful and just hand in history.
If you have not yet tried the new organization system that we debuted this past summer, you may not be aware that all your Year Three curriculum and supplements can now be found on the Year Three page! You can also reach it via the “My Library” section of your Account page under “By Learning Levels.” The Tapestry community as a whole has been so enthusiastic about this change that we have decided to remove the Unit pages curriculum content which is now redundant. We plan to add new Unit Introduction and Organization content here in the new year, so please visit again!
