Conflict Resolution and United States History offers supplementary materials for U.S. history teachers (grades 5 through 16) with rich historical background; biographies of key historical figures; multiple perspectives; directions for doing negotiations, congressional hearings, moot courts and other historical simulations; analysis of consequences, questions for discussion and additional resources. Volume One includes nine conflicts from the Colonial Period through Reconstruction. Volume Two focuses on ten domestic and international conflicts from the Gilded Era through the 20th Century. Teachers report that the materials and teaching strategies motivate students to gain a rich understanding of historical developments, critical thinking and public speaking skills and to connect historical events with current day issues. - from Amzon
