Does anyone use this for their American history class, presumably AP? (I know Justin does, so I fully expect at least one relevant response to this topic). Doesn't it infuriate you? Isn't it horrid? It doesn't understand the concept of chonological order (Lincoln dies, Johnson takes over, and now suddenly we're back on Lincoln's policies. Then, Johnson didn't drink, he drank once, and oh, he's intelligent. Nonsqeuitor much?), everything that occurs on the 4th of July is "ironic," and it used the word "yeasty."
QUOTE "The Republic owes much to these latercomers--for their brawn, their brains, their courage, and the yeasty diversity they brought to American society." ~The American Pageant yeasty? |

It's much better than the one that the state chose for us before, which was chosen because it didn't depict christians during the great awakening in a laughable manner.
seriously. it replaced a book that mentioned christians barking like dogs. at least the american paegent has less of a religopolitical agenda. But anyways, we used it as supplemental reading, not as a main text. Our main text was the teacher's notes. |
