In addition to the chapters, the app also includes appendices with important historical documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It also features maps, charts, and a list of U.S. presidents for reference and context. Overall, U.S. History is a comprehensive and well-researched app that provides a thorough understanding of American history. With its user-friendly interface and a wealth of resources, it is a valuable tool for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of the United States and its past.
