There are AP exams in US History, European History, and World History. You should probably take all of those and maybe Human Geography and US and/or World Government.

The facts that you know you want to study history and are not good at math make the UK more suited to you.

There are like 50 people from the US who get into Oxford or Cambridge out of high school. You would be at a big disadvantage having the less specialized US system and being from a public high school in Texas. As the other posters implied, there are other schools in the British Isles that can be a backup plan if you want to study there.
