American History Flash Cards – 75 US Events, Government & Civics Cards | Back to School American history cards for social studies, homeschool and classrooms covering events, government and civics

Card quality is very good (thick, laminated) and I enjoy flipping through them. Very educational and relaxing.

Worked well with my review in class

These American History flash cards are a great way to study for History class. There's so much information that we (my wife and I) had forgotten. Of course there is a lot of information that seems superfluous and some information that we would like to see added, but you can only put so much information into a deck of flash cards.

They are as expected. I would recommend them.

Great teaching Tool!

Many of the event descriptions lean into liberal interpretations through tone, omissions, and selective emphasis, particularly concerning contemporary movements. Sections like “summary” or “significance” often use loaded language that subtly guides perception, sometimes drawing modern parallels. I removed some cards entirely (social issues, identity politics, or critiques of traditional institutions) and use the images only, discussing the facts independently. While the set shows signs of left-leaning narrative framing, especially in how it presents impact and legacy, it’s not entirely unreliable.

I'm amazed at how up to date these cards are. One of them, for the COVID-19 pandemic, actually has a printed end date in May, 2023. As of this writing, that's about 4 months ago. They cover events going way back to the settling of this country, and the information on the back is very useful. It explains the significance of the event, who was involved, and the relevant dates (when it began, and when it was completed. e.g. for Supreme Court cases, when argued and when decided). The cards are color-coded by the type of event they are testing (politics, war, government, etc). Personally I wish they were color coded by century so I could easily divide them into groups for use with my students (each grade is covering a different time period) but I can work with this. The only thing that I've found to complain about is that one of them is labelled "The Iraq War" but they mean the Second Iraq War, so it's a little confusing that they mean the one with George W. Bush and not his father. I had to sharpie a little "2nd" on the front of that one. But in general, I really like these and can use them for my own review as well as with my students.

Politically skewed - gives undue weight to some events/movements and an inadequate amount to others.
