INSTITUTION Louisiana State Dept. of Education, Baton Rouge. REPORT NO Bull-1060 PUB DATE 71 NOTE 205p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$9.87 DESCRIPTORS Activity Units; *American History; Civil War (United States); *Concept Teaching; constitutional History; Curriculum Guides; Democracy; *History Instruction; Modern History; Reconstruction Era; Secondary Grades; Sequential Learning; *Social Studies; *United States History ABSTRACT Providing a basic framework for a one year American history course for secondary students, this curriculum guide offers help for teachers in planning, organizing, and teaching social studies. Designed to cover the whole paLorama of history (1450 through 1969) in sequence, the course aims tc help students understand early events and how they are related to contemporary affairs. The multi-concept plan is based upon the assumption that the subject matter of American history can be presented in terms of general organizing concepts. These general ideas (primary concepts) serve as the organizational framework for factual content (secondary concepts) of the course. The students, taught by this plan, become aware of the relativity of historical interpretation and learn to organize facts into meaningful patterns. The thirty-six weekcourse in American history is divided into 17 units of instruction, with each unit varying from one to three weeks in duration. The last three units are devoted to the developing twentieth-century conflict between Capitalism and Communism. Concepts, content, guides, oral and written activities, and bibliography of student and teacher materials are presented for each unit.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.

There is a bibliography at the end of the article. Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law. Fourth, in late March and early April 1865 the Confederate secret services, having abandoned abduction plans, plotted to kill Lincoln (and hopefully his entire Cabinet) by exploding a mine near the White House. This plot to assassinate Lincoln had been personally approved by Jefferson Davis and other top Confederate leaders. The plan failed because the explosives expert from a secret service, the Confederate War Department’s Torpedo Bureau (at that time mines were called torpedoes), who had been detailed to detonate the mine, was, while being escorted to Washington, D.C. by Confederate cavalry, unexpectedly captured by Union cavalry on April 10 a mere 15 miles from the District. In fairness to Jefferson Davis and the other Confederate leaders, it must be noted that the Confederacy’s plots to abduct or kill Lincoln originated only after an incident in March 1864 in which Confederate soldiers found concealed papers on the body of a Union cavalry officer, Col.

  • Ford's Theatre Society Exhibition on Changing Historical Memory
    GE-254026-17 A. Abstract Ford’s Theatre Society (FTS) will plan a permanent exhibition on the history of Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House in the years since President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination that considers what these two buildings can teach us about changing historical memory of national tragedy. NEH funds will allow Ford’s Theatre Society to consult with a group of scholars of historical memory, create a schematic exhibition design and exhibition script, and test themes and ideas with target audiences. The planned exhibition will offer the 650,000 annual visitors to Ford’s Theatre a window into changing popular memory of the Lincoln assassination through the story of the buildings where the event took place, contextualizing the changing uses of the buildings and urging visitors to question what messages monuments and historic sites reveal about the people who build and steward them. B. Nature of the request Ford’s Theatre Society respectfully requests a Public Humanities Planning Grant in the amount of $40,000 to support interpretive planning and design for a new permanent exhibition on the second floor of its Center for Education and Leadership. More than a hundred years after the assassination of President Lincoln on April 14, 1865, Ford’s Theatre reopened in 1968 as a working theatre and historic site dedicated to honoring President Lincoln. Ford’s Theatre is operated through a public-private partnership between Ford’s Theatre Society (a non-profit 501(c)(3)) and the National Park Service. The FTS mission is to celebrate the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and explore the American experience through theatre and education.

Language: Materials in English Access: Records are open for research Use: Refer to Archives Reading Room Guidelines Notes: Citation Style: ―Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection,‖ Record Group 22, Archives, Plymouth Historical Museum Abstract Over a period of 70 years, Dr. Weldon Petz acquired more than 12,000 Lincoln artifacts, research papers, and other resource materials. This is the largest such collection in Michigan, second largest in the Midwest, and one of the largest and finest private collections of Lincolniana in the country. Among the objects are Lincoln‘s life mask and casts of his hands, a lock of his hair, photographs, and statuary. The archival collection consists of books, documents, journals, clip files, pamphlets, maps, and prints and posters. In his search for a permanent home for this collection, Dr. Petz chose the Plymouth Historical Museum because it promised to use the collection to create educational programs for students. The dimensions of the Petz Collection demanded the addition of a new wing to the Museum to exhibit it. After the Museum (which receives no governmental funding), purchased this prestigious collection, Margaret Dunning, an exemplary citizen and founder of the Museum, once again stepped forward and donated a million dollars to build it.
