Thanks, Kai. This is helpful. I will take a look at The American Odyssey. Did you use any materials to supplement?
Yes. First, we did it in conjunction with American literature, so there was all that. Here is what we did that was for history specifically:
A People's History of the United States
1491
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Up from Slavery
The Souls of Black Folk (selections)
Black Elk Speaks
Education for Extinction
Black Like Me
Also, these books from our literature study dealt specifically with topics we were studying in history:
Uncle Tom's Cabin
The Jungle
The Grapes of Wrath
