@ShrimpBurrito, That’s great for her. US History can vary so much depends on who teaches it I am sure. D took US history in community college as two semesters courses. The first semester was exactly as I was worried, lots of facts to memorize without enough global context. The second semester professor selected a few major events and they did deeper research on them in the context of how society has progressed through them, while almost ignoring the rest. It was a great way of teaching in true college level learning, but still without global context.
