Its called United States History: Preparing for the AP exam by John J Newman and John M Schmalbach published by AMSCO publications 2004. Its a really comprehensive yet brief book.
" the jungle" by upton sinclair. it's longer the 200 but a good read. its about the awful working conditions at meat-packing factories in the early 1900's. very detailed and chilling. if it's for a class, your teacher will love the choice.
haha same here. i was offered an invtitation, but i turned down my teacher, because i didnt feel like doing a lot of extra work and i'd get like 70s probably
