Presents US History from the Perspective of Faith in God and Respect for His Word
Combine United States History, American Literature, and Bible in a one-year high school course—Or choose to do the history only option. Exploring America is a Christian-based American history course.
It is workable that you could use this course for history alone. The Unit Tests are separate for history, English and Bible as are the questions for the lessons, the American Voice readings, and the literature readings. The reading choices are much more interesting than a typical American Literature course. The course has a very homeschool friendly manner. The Bible lessons I checked are interesting and relevant to each unit. Three courses for the price of one is a great deal.
