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 :)

    Ah yes the Bush years, a gilded age in conservative decency.

    Jesus wept.

      It snapped me out of being conservative, so there were a few positives.

          I feel ya. I hope they spend more time infighting for power and attention and don’t harm too much actual important stuff, but I won’t hold my breath.

          It’s going to be a long couple of years…
