  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 5 · Haymarket, 1886
  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 6 · Homestead, Pullman, and the weapon that actually broke strikes

  Note: Element (e) — the origins, growth, influence, and tactics of labor unions including the American Federation of Labor — is exactly the unions course: the Knights and the AFL, Haymarket, Homestead, and Pullman.

• SSUSH13

  Partially covered

  Evaluate efforts to reform American society and politics in the Progressive Era.

  Covered by

  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 12 · The long shadow, and the return

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: Progressive-Era labor reform is taught through the Triangle fire and what it changed, and the institutionalization of Jim Crow (element c's context) is taught. The muckrakers, the women's-reform, and conservation elements are not the focus.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

• Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Georgia mathematics standard.
• Science — Georgia's own GSE Science (NOT NGSS), deferred not denied. We verified that Georgia's science standards are the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science — Georgia's own, NOT the NGSS. We did not fetch and transcribe them this pass, and our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so Georgia carries no science claim here. The climate-and-resources content the NGSS states pick up through HS-ESS3-1 maps instead to Georgia social studies (World Geography SSWG1 and SSWG5, World History SSWH16). Georgia's high-school Environmental Science standards are the candidate home for a future pass.
• American Government/Civics standards checked and rejected. SSCG2 (the political-philosophy genealogy — the Magna Carta through Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu, as named texts), SSCG9 (the impeachment and removal process), and SSCG11 (the federal bureaucracy, its departments and agencies, and the Cabinet) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
• Economics — the personal-finance course, macroeconomics, and the market-structure standards. The personal-finance standards (SSEPF1-10), macroeconomics (SSEMA1-3 — GDP, the Federal Reserve, fiscal policy), the microeconomic circular-flow and market-structure standards (SSEMI1, SSEMI3), the scarcity and rational-decision standards (SSEF1, SSEF2, SSEF4), and the exchange-rate standard (SSEIN2) were checked and are not taught. We claim the international-trade and economic-systems standards where the lessons land.
• World and U.S. history beyond the mapped standards. Georgia's SSWH and SSUSH are full surveys. This catalog teaches world and U.S. history in specific places — exploration and the Columbian Exchange, imperialism and the Opium Wars, the Haitian Revolution, the Gilded Age unions, the Great Migration, Prohibition and the Harlem Renaissance, the Wagner Act, and Poland's exit from communism — not as surveys, so the remaining ancient/medieval, world-war, and U.S.-survey standards are not claimed.
• The direct-democracy tools SSCG17e names — Georgia does not have the initiative. Georgia's own SSCG17e lists "the initiative, referendum, and recall" as limitations citizens may exercise on state and local government. But Georgia has NO statewide citizen initiative: the flagship teaches that absence and the legislative-referral path (a two-thirds vote of each house, then voter ratification) honestly, rather than describing a tool Georgia does not provide. So the standard is claimed (partial) for what Georgia's civics actually is, not padded to look like a direct-democracy state.
• The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Georgia's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages) have not been fetched and verified this pass. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Georgia claims here.
