All the Americab history classes in public school that I endured basically was the early Europeans arriving and a rehashing some bits of the revolutionary war.

One exception was 8th grade US where the civil war was touched on.

My seventh-grade history class covered American history from ‘Age of Discovery’ to the Civil War. We also covered the U.S. Constitution for about 3 weeks. Students had to pass a test on U.S. Constitution to get their 8th-grade diploma (I taught at a K-8 school district and this was a state requirement).

Eighth-grade was from Reconstruction to as close to today as I could manage, but to be honest Viet Nam War got pretty short shrift since we were usually days away from their graduation. Again, we stopped to study MO state Constitution, and again they had to pass the test for their diploma.
