American History
A study of the history of America.
The date of the start of the history of the United States is a subject of debate among historians.

In recent decades American schools and universities typically have shifted back in time to include more on the colonial period and much more on the prehistory of the Native peoples.

“He’s a critic. He does reviews.”
