I love Larry Gonicks books, especially on science and economy, amazing explanations filled with brilliant humor. History of the US is surprisingly disturbing- it feels like it’s a book on slavery rather than American history. Did anyone else feel the same?

It does feel that way. In fact it’s a bit weird it’s so over the top.

Funny and informative

The comics are written in the style of political cartoons. I found the story easy to follow and learned somethings about our government system that I didn't remember from high school. A great gift for the history teacher or history fan in your life. Read more

The New Englander is half-mad. His idea of a good time is to preach sermons 51 weeks of the year, and destroy buildings on the 52nd. Besides, he lacks the refinement that can only come from wielding absolute power over a servile class.' 'The Southerner's religion is corrupt; his morals are lax; his plantations are cruel; his women are easy. His life is (shudder) deeply tempting.' 'Non-Pennsylvanians are all obsessed.' 'Hey, I'm Jewish. Where can I go but Rhode Island?' Any chance of uniting all of these? Not in 1765!
