About

Welcome to APUSH Notes and Study Guides! This resource is a comprehensive site designed to only provide the most necessary information for students to succeed in the AP United States History course. This website provides detailed summaries on each topic in the course, going in the order provided by the CollegeBoard curriculum.

  • Q: Who are you?

    A: Hello! If you’re reading this, hopefully you are currently a high school student or accessing this website for your own historical enrichment. I am currently a senior from the city of Stockton, California with a passion in political advocacy, education, and finance. The creation and development of this resource was to fulfill my passion for education and to implement a method to inform others on history curriculum throughout the United States.

    Q: Why did you create this?

    A: As a student from a historically disadvantaged city, I have always been frustrated by the lack of educational resources in my community to help people pursue higher education and academics. While I have tried various other methods in the past, creating a centralized website for one specific subject is what I have found so far to be one of the most fulfilling ways to provide such a resource to others. Although a few other similar resources exist, the creation of this website was motivated by a desire for something that is succinct and organizes information in a new, unique way.
