US History 3 Printed Books

Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? US History 3 is a Mini Unit. Our Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. In contrast, Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.

What is this unit about? US History 3 is the third installment of a series of 6 mini-units that will move chronologically through time to teach United States History from a Christian worldview. Our third unit is about Expansion and Civil War going from about 1816-1899.
