U.S. History Study App - Lessons, Quizzes, Glossaries, FlashcardsFeatures:- Study progress- Quiz progress- 32 Study units- 168 Lessons- 32 Quizzes- 280 Practice questions- 109 GlossariesTo develop U.S. History, we solicited ideas from historians at all levels of higher education, from community colleges to Ph.D.-granting universities. They told us about their courses, students, challenges, resources, and how a textbook can best meet their and their students’ needs.The result is an app that cover
s the breadth of the chronological history of the United States and also provides the necessary depth to ensure the course is manageable for instructors and students alike. U.S. History explores the key forces and major developments that together form the American experience, with particular attention paid to considering issues of race, class, and gender.The pedagogical choices, chapter arrangements, and learning objective fulfillment were developed and vetted with feedback from educators dedicated to the project. They thoroughly read the material and offered critical and detailed commentary. Reviewer feedback centered around achieving equilibrium between the various political, social, and cultural dynamics that permeate history. The outcome is a balanced approach to U.S. history, considering the people, events, and ideas that have shaped the United States from both the top down (politics, economics, diplomacy) and bottom up (eyewitness accounts, lived experience).Chapter 1: The Americas, Europe, and Africa before 1492Chapter 2: Early Globalization: The Atlantic World, 1492–1650Chapter 3: Creating New Social Orders: Colonial Societies, 1500–1700Chapter 4: Rule Britannia!
