History Quest: United States

History Quest: United States is a secular homeschool curriculum covering the history and civics of the United States from the 1500s to the early 21st century.

Because it is secular, the text presents religious beliefs from this period not as factual accounts, but as relevant sources and perspectives to be considered through a historical lens.

In History Quest: United States, we have not shied away from this country's indefensible treatment of Black people, Native Americans, members of the LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, women, and others. By centering some of their stories, we lift up these voices and have created a more complete, accurate, and inclusive history than is typically available for grade school students.

Designed as a read-aloud for upper elementary-age children, an independent read for older students, or a journey of thrilling stories to be shared during family story time, this main text presents an immersive study of U.S. history and civics in an engaging and memorable format.

Used alongside the History Quest: United States Study Guide and other recommended resources, your students will learn about the ideas, conflicts, inventions, and individuals that shaped the United States (and the world) — taking their first step in a lifelong quest to explore and appreciate history.

Who Can Use History Quest: United States?

History Quest: United States is appropriate for upper elementary-aged children learning at home or in co-ops, learning pods, micro-schools, or charter schools.

Recommended Grades: 3–6

Students in these grades can use the chapter book as their primary history spine, either as a read-aloud or for independent reading.

Unlike History Quest: Early Times and History Quest: Middle Times, which are suitable for students as young as first grade, we recommend beginning History Quest: United States during or after third grade, as this book addresses some of the shameful and complex moments in U.S. history.

What Are History Hops?

At the end of each chapter, you will find a History Hop! section that takes the reader on an imaginary journey back in time to visit historical characters and places introduced in that chapter.

These engaging narratives help bring history to life, giving students a vivid sense of what it was like to live in different eras.

Below are a few of the adventures you’ll find in the United States History Hops section:

Visit a busy field hospital after the Battle of Gettysburg.

Go undercover and outsmart wily outlaws with Bass Reeves.

Help a first-time voter grapple with a tough decision
