Contextualizing Unit 4

Period 4 is the first period in which the United States is actually its own country! It must deal with problems that arise on the domestic and international fronts. For this activity, review the context of Periods 1-3. Use the bank below to place each context clue in the period that it best fits. Beware-you may think that one context clue can fit into more than one period; however, each period will have exactly 5 context clues. You are also responsible for placing the appropriate context clues in Period 4. If you do not remember learning about one of the clues, you may consider placing it into Period 4.
