Too much right wing opinion, not enough history - Been there, done that -
My oldest used this text for her third and fourth year history classes in high school. This book is a veiled attempt at re interpreting the facts from a right of center position. It downplays the importance of Jeffersonian democratic principles in the evolution of the our country. It is short on absolute facts and dates and attempts to draw the reader into its own fanciful interpretation.
In order for my daughter to get a good understanding of our country and its development through time, I (not the teacher) had to supplement this with as much objective fact as I could find. On-line sources were fine.
I urge you to to advise your child of the falacies of this text (Jeffereson Davis is not a hero) and if possible, have it removed as a text in your district.
