This work has been described by The Freeman as

"Probably the best available survey history of the United States... Dr. Carson has formed a richly woven tapestry of events and the ideas that spawned them. For Carson, history is not merely a collection of facts and dates, an account of explorations, settlements, westward expansion, wars, presidents, and elections. History is the product of the actions of countless individuals, each under the influence of certain ideas. And Carson explores those ideas, ideologies, and 'isms.' He shows how they were responsible for the settlement of this continent, the struggle for freedom, the westward expansion, the construction of schools, churches, factories, and the founding of new religious denominations. He explains why our ancestors fought for their beliefs, and strove to create a government, limited in scope, with checks and balances, that would not have the power to oppress the people..."

I've been privileged to teach a group of homeschool teens US History with Clarence B. Carson's BASIC HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. We are now in Volume 5, THE WELFARE STATE, and are just beginning Chapter 7, The Cold War. Our US History journey has been epic and exciting. Mr. Carson's understanding of American history is compelling and relevant to what's going on today. Anyone who reads this series will "get it" and will not be fooled by the progressive (liberal) mindset. Mr. Carson's students understand the Constitution and cry foul when the line is crossed, which is unfortunately a frequent occurrence. We lost a great man when Mr. Carson passed away some years ago. One note: The Teacher's Guide does not include answers to the study questions. You'll need to find them yourself, which I have found to be a blessing in disguise as I learn along with my students. I highly recommend the addition of Idaho Legislator Curtis Bowers' (no relation!) DVD, AGENDA: GRINDING AMERICA DOWN, especially when studying the spread of Communism.
