Free Resources for A History of Us

We are using A History of Us by Joy Hakim to study US History. I am gathering free resources to go along with the books, and will be adding to this list of free US History resources as we work through each chapter. Please pick & choose what you like – don’t feel like you need to do all of these activities!

*Note: We are starting with book 2 because we covered the subjects in book 1 in a previous study. I fell behind in adding links to this post. I am picking back up in our current chapter and will try to fill in the missing chapters as I get time.
