Welcome

Welcome to our class blog! You are currently enrolled in a course entitled "American Century." Last semester we covered 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 the Civil War. This semester we will cover Reconstruction through the 20th century. 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!

Extra Credit Opportunity

Due Wednesday Dec. 15th

On a (blank) sheet of paper or on the computer, please create a political cartoon of the 1823 Monroe Doctrine. Feel free to research online, but your cartoon must exhibit creativity and originality. Be thoughtful about symbolism, as part of the fun of political cartoons is figuring out what they mean...it should not be all at once obvious.

On the back of your submission, please include a typed or neatly handwritten explanation of the Monroe Doctrine and the message of your cartoon.
