I’m hesitant to call the government centered in D.C. the “federal” government because doesn’t that ignore the role that state governments have in our federal system?
I didn’t think the term “national” government would mean that it has total control over the whole nation, just that it does have some powers that are exercised throughout the nation.

I thought “federal” described the national government and state governments each exercising their delegated and reserved powers, respectively, over the same territory.

Wow that looks incredibly comprehensive, although I’m sure you had things which you had to leave out. My seniors actually caught on pretty well to Hobbes; although, if not for my paraphrasing comments to the side, I’m not sure how well they would have followed it. But he has a pretty common-sense-take on human nature that I think most people would agree with at first.

Thank you for your response! That makes sense.

Dr. Casey, I appreciate your point about not having to read books in their entirety. Thank you.

Thanks Professor Gutzman. Retention is key then. Anyone else have different methods?

The World at War
See the wikipedia page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_at_War
Can be found at many libraries I think.

Thanks, Tom. I’ve started looking at the textbooks that I’ve inherited at the school. AMERICAN REPUBLIC with Appleby, Brinkley and others looks very promising – even has a pretty pro-business slant in the section on industrialization. That’s “since 1877.” The “to 1877” textbook is AMERICAN HISTORY: THE EARLY YEARS by Ritchie and Broussard. I’m yet to dig into that book.
