I’m a 21-year-old guy and since they unfortunately didn’t teach us about American history in school I wanna learn it all on my own from the beginning to the present.
I’m really looking forward to a deep dive to not only understand American history better but also to get a better grasp of the culture, people, economics, politics and social aspects that influenced America to become what it is now.
I was wondering what the best ways and resources are to do this. Maybe someone can recommend some good media resources. It doesn’t matter what it is, it could be books, videos, podcasts, documentaries, documents, articles, movies and so on.
I’m open for everything :)
Yeah I like history but it needs a good writer to make it interesting. It can be very dry. I also am far more interested in movements and politics of ordinary people then the “great men” of history, so this book sounded appealing but I am hoping somewhere out there exists another that is more scholarly.
