DianeW88 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I second Ken Burns. Also, "Liberty" by PBS. The History Channel and the Biography Channel have really great profiles of individual presidents. We also used the PBS series of presidential biographies this past year and loved them.

Janice in NJ Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Not a DVD series - just want to make sure you know about the video clips on Hippo Campus. They line up well with most history textbooks. http://www.hippocampus.org/US%20History;jsessionid=43FD65A05A650016FE665B20086DCD5E Peace, Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
