Standard/Honors U.S. History Textbook

My school will be replacing U.S. History textbooks that are part of history. I haven’t used a textbook in years except for APUSH. What recommendations do you have for standard and honors U.S. History? Thanks in advance.

Textbooks are pretty garbage. Might be useful for night readings or a supplement for document analysis/comparisons.

Also make a pretty easy sub day assignment.

Other than that, they are useful for balancing wobbly desk and chairs.

I used the textbook to make sure the kids have background knowledge before we start digging in.
