Get an old Encyclopedia Britannica, maybe before 1985. Then get an even older one say 1920. Study everything you can find about Americans and American History. In my experience the British of that era give a much more accurate account of America.
Of course you will need something else for modern history.
And for textbooks don’t forget “A Patriot’s History of the United States, by our own FREEPER, LS. My son is taking US
History next year (11th grade); I will help pay for a new laptop for him if he reads the entire book very thoroughly.

Most folks alive today, including many professors of history, have never even heard of St. George Tucker and his work. The revisionists have virtually erased him and if you read his work you will readily see why.
You cannot beat this and you will be surprised:

American History & Life and Historical Abstracts are available through EBSCO, a subscription database that can be accessed through academic and many public libraries. Some libraries will allow you to access such databases from home if you have a library card.
Other subscription databases that might be useful are The American Civil War Letters and Diaries and Proquest's historical newspapers. Several universities and large public libraries subscribe to some of these newspapers. My Palos Verdes public library card allows me to access the Los Angeles Times from the beginning to the present in the form of PDF articles. Other libraries carry the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune and other papers. A list of databases available to patrons of the Los Angeles Public Library is available here Many other large public libraries subscribe to these databases.
Another good collection of online historical resources can be found at the American Memory website maintained by the Library of Congress, available here.
Other sites that might be of interest include Eyewitness to History and American Journeys.
I hope you find my suggestions useful.

I just revisited the Wall Builders website.
It is a smorgasbord of everything in U.S History, especially of the Founding Era and even more recent.
Check it out.
