United States History Flash Cards – 75 US American Major Events & Milestones – AP Learning Resource for Studying, Government Teaching Aid Tool, Social Studies Civics Reference – Classroom & Homeschool

Worked well with my review in class

They are as expected. I would recommend them.

Great teaching Tool!

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.

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.

These are a decent set of "flashcards" that are the size of a deck of cards. They are nice and a bit thick, so they should last a long time. However, calling them flashcards is stretching it. These cards really need to be bigger, the size of actual flash cards at least.That being said, they are very informative. Great for studying the milestones in American History. I like that they are a thicker material. One side has the picture of the event or person and the other has the facts. It is nice that it has a visual to go along with each event/person. I would recommend if you want to help your kiddos study or you just want to brush up on some history.

This deck contains 75 plastic coated cards. The events start at the Declaration of Independence and includes events up until modern day. They are broken up into categories with headings such as Major Events; Politics; Holidays; War/Conflict; Protests/Rebellions; Supreme Court; and Science/ Technology. The cards obviously cannot include everything but I think they are an excellent learning tool. My husband and I plan to use them to quiz ourselves on our long drives but we’ll also use them with our teenage grandchildren. I couldn’t find anything bias about them. They just stated facts not opinions.

Cards come in a nicely marked box, so could be good for gifting.The cards are thick, glossy and sturdy. They are brightly colored and include pictures or artwork. The back of the cards appear dirty, at first, but it is actually like a paint splatter design. The writing is very small and lumped together, somewhat messily. Cards have color categories, such as holidays in red.The information on the back of the cards is for older aged kiddos. Cards have important dates, important people, and information related to the events. Unfortunately, they are inconsistent about giving explanatory details about the actual events. As an example, the Westward Expansion states "American Settlers migrated west for new lands, economic opportunity, and spreading of American culture and religion." This is great, but the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks doesn't tell you what happened. Nowhere on the card does it mention that there were airplanes used in the attack.I was surprised to see cards for the Me Too Movement and Black Lives Matter Movement. The Black Lives Matter card is very left leaning, stating that protestors and activists merely "marched to bring attention to this issue." My least favorite card is the Covid-19 Pandemic, which tells nothing about how it originated, and specifically states "politically driven vaccine resistance" caused the pandemic to continue, which is wildly untrue.I think some cards have decent information and details that kids can use. The information on other cards, especially more recent events, are questionable and can actually be used as a teaching tool to show how historians do not always communicate history correctly because of political bias.
