Today in class, we went over the assigned blog checklist and took the 8th grade review quiz. We talked about the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation failed miserably because it gave the states too much power and the central government not enough. The following topics for our weekly blog are:

1. Exploration and Colonization

2. Revolutionary War

3. Westward Expansion

4, Industrial Revolution of the early 1800's

5. Civil War and Reconstruction
