Revised AP US History Framework
I'm not including a URL in the post title so I can include a few here:
Original Article I read - http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/...
College Board Website - http://advancesinap.collegeboard.org/eng...
Framework Document - http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalSer...
Analysis of the College Board AP U.S. History Framework - http://heartland.org/policy-documents/an...
I found this article the other day and I was disgusted to read what was claimed about the new AP US History Framework. But not content to accept what they said at face value I looked for the framework document myself and downloaded and skimmed through it.
While looking for the actual framework I found the analysis done by The Heartland Institute.
I think learning the true history, good and bad, is essential to future generations to move forward. So this is very disappointing.
Along those lines I know it has been mentioned before but I can't find anything in the post search, can I get some suggestions on somewhat comprehensive US History Books?
Thanks!

I contend that one source of unification was the rather loud voice of Rev. George Whitefield. He's a research topic for anyone wanting a PhD, assuming one can find a non-Marxist history department somewhere.
That's where US History starts, but the foundational aspects go back centuries - if not millenia.
As I get into History I wanted to start with something a little more recent, but I would love to get into older history as well.
When studying ancient history, I would also start with history texts written as far back as possible and still covering the material. Say, 19th to early 20th century (for starters).
That way you can get a non-PC perspective on history, as well.
I'll get the scoop on it after my peer attends summer training. Have fun!
Thank you!
I have to admit I was a great High School student. it wasn't until I got older that I really wanted to start learning lots of things and history has been one I've been spending time on lately. Reading some presidential biographies, etc. But I also wanted something a little bigger picture. I'll look into this.
Regarding a history textbook, go with HW Brands' American Stories. You need both volumes. Just so you know, HW Brands is Glenn Beck's historian of choice, and he is probably the most commonly seen historian on The History Channel.
