Stop Forgetting History: The Essential Three-in-One Guide That Makes America's Story Stick
Did you sleep through history class? Do names like Jamestown, Gettysburg, and the Emancipation Proclamation sound familiar, but you can't remember why they matter? You don't need a history degree to understand America's past—you just need an audiobook that actually brings the story to life.
Three manuscripts in one audiobook:
- The History of the United States for Beginners: The Story of America Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
- The American Revolution for Beginners: The Story of the Revolutionary War Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
- The Civil War for Beginners: The Story of the War Between the States Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
Written in a fast-paced, conversational style designed to be as enjoyable and captivating as a novel, this is the audiobook that will finally make you laugh, gasp, and truly understand how the United States became what it is today.
Imagine finally knowing the real answers to questions like:
- How did millions of Indigenous people build vast cities long before European contact?
- Why did Jamestown settlers resort to cannibalism, and how did tobacco fuel the rise of American slavery?
- How did the profound contradictions of liberty and slavery coexist in 1776, and why do they still define our politics?
- What was the brutal truth behind legendary battles like Gettysburg and Antietam?
- How did Abraham Lincoln rise from a self-taught lawyer to the Great Emancipator?
- What really happened during Reconstruction, and why did its promise fall so short?
- And much, much more!
