I taught high school American lit

I went to the home school store picked up a textbook from 1989

There were four one for each year

That’s a ton of American history pre revision

Classics
Tom Sawyer
Guck Finn

Willa cather

For my kids when they were young, all the Hollywood musicals. Once they get past a certain age esp boys forget it.

But movies are a good way to go. For exploring. Band of brothers very great. Skip episode 9. There’s porn

Last of the Mohegans
Westerns

Huck Finn. Autocorrect rejects huck

I second American literature. I read such books as Johnny Tremain, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Gone With the Wind to my daughter. These allowed good discussion between us about our history. The movie “1776” is also great.
