Learn About American History

Hello, I'm Steven Mintz, the John and Rebecca Moores Professor of History at the University of Houston, and I'll be your guide to the Digital History resources on American History.

We have selected 24 topics that correspond to the major periods in American history, and have also taken into consideration the history standards, both required and
advanced, to which high school students are held.

Each module includes:

A succinct historical overview;
Recommended documents, films, and historic images;
Teaching resources including lesson plans,fact checks, and activities.
