In order for students to succeed in an AP U.S. history course, they need to understand not only what happened, but also why it happened.  America’s History has long been praised as a text that helps students to think critically about history and analyze both how and why historical events have occurred.  America’s History deftly weaves together political, social, and cultural history in a narrative that students find accessible and engaging.  Exceptional pedagogical support — overviews, maps, figures, illustrations, and embedded documents — are carefully integrated to encourage the development of students’ historical skills. America’s History is the text that covers not only the facts, but also the skills that students need to have success in the AP U.S. history course. Need help with the audit?  Click here to download an AP correlation.
