Alternatively, as your simple request seems to have inspired several of us to give you a post-grad syllabus, you might consider just watching the US history episodes of Schoolhouse Rock on YouTube. "I'm Just a Bill" is great, of course, but I've always had a special place in my heart for "No More Kings" and "The Shot Heard Round The World."

And "The Preamble" and the sadly dated "Elbow Room," too. Anyway, carry on.
