Lots of facts about US history (from colonial days to ~2000). The pre-Civil War parts were boring and actually essentially mainstream history at this point.

The Civil War and Reconstruction parts are a libertarian hybrid of the "Southern" side of the argument plus some other libertarian angles. I'm not sure if it's completely factually accurate, but the politics behind reconstruction have never been particularly openly discussed, so there's some new and interesting material here.

Everything after that is basically mainstream libertarian politics and history. Nothing too shocking, generally well presented. ( )

I don't know how to classify this, history, or historical fiction? Author's assertions were rather poorly documented. ( )

Full of rhetoric, you’re better off just reading the books he highlights. ( )

In process. Am hating it. I find his arguments weak and unsupported. I will trudge through and fume the whole time. (ETA: I hated the whole thing.) ( )
