Introduction
There is no shortage of material available to teachers and learners for a course
in the history of the U.S.A. The lists here identify three types of resources that
can be harder to find:
• IGCSE textbooks using activities and resources
• printed and online collections of primary sources (texts)
• website resources (URLs) for a variety of primary sources (visual)
All of the books are paperbacks, currently in print, and available from online
sources such as www.amazon.com No books or websites are endorsed by
Cambridge International Examinations.
This list illustrates the wealth of material that can be found, especially online. It
is not definitive and must always be a work in progress. For future editions,
Cambridge International Examinations would welcome information about good
additional items – an online discussion forum is available at
http://teachers.cie.org.uk/login.
The importance of primary sources
Teachers are reminded of the importance of primary sources in this Cambridge
IGCSE course. Beyond ordinary use in class to illustrate subjects and help
discussions, the chosen topic for Paper 2 (Defining Moments) needs to be
taught using relevant primary source material as much as possible. Learners
need to feel at home with historical evidence, to be familiar with modes of
speech/writing of the time, to be able to understand it in context and to absorb
from it the ideas and attitudes as well as the issues of the time.
Alongside this, learners need to be taught skills in source analysis:
• appreciating the nature, origin and purpose of the different types of
historical evidence (textual, visual) available for the set topic, and
• assessing the strengths and weaknesses, the importance and the
value of the different types of historical evidence (textual, visual)
available for the set topic.
Each learner must be able to do more than mine source for information, or
use them merely for reference. Learners must be able to interpret what the
sources say (and do not say), to interrogate them and evaluate them, if they
are to be able to construct good historical accounts.
In this way, learners will be so familiar with the various types of evidence
available for their Paper 2 topic that they can cope comfortably with the
unseen sources (textual, visual) in the examination paper Insert. Teachers

will thus need to select an appropriate range of primary evidence through
which to teach their chosen Paper 2 topic.
The use of primary sources goes beyond the requirements of Paper 2. As
History in the raw, teachers are encouraged to use primary sources in
teaching the entire course.

How legitimate it is to call the 20th century the American
century?
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0054594
“How legitimate it is to call the 20th century the American
century. Just how benevolent has America’s impact on the
world been? How durable has American’s initial idealism
proved to be? Have ideals of democracy and freedom been
forged across the globe as a result of the American influence,
or has American oppression made the bigger impact? Has
America ignored its own inequalities whilst advocating
democratic capitalism elsewhere? Can America still lay claim
to the idealism which fired its founders, or has materialism,
with its uncomfortable corollary deprivation, lain waste to
those early ideals?”
Discussion in 1998 between Harry Evans, former editor of
The Sunday Times and author of The American Century;
John Lloyd, associate editor of The New Statesman and
former Times correspondent in Moscow and East European
Editor of the Financial Time; broadcast in the series ‘In Our
Time’ on BBC Radio 4.

MP3 podcast lecture at Boston University by Professor Hall,
Northeastern University, 2003 (lasts 53 minutes).
“Slavery was legal in many southern states right through the
American Civil War. However, the importing of slaves
became illegal in 1808, and made a crime punishable by
death in 1820. But according to Northeastern University
Professor of African American Studies, Robert Hall, that still
did not deter slavers from transporting thousands of blacks
into the U.S. from Africa and Cuba.
Professor Hall speaks on “Illegal Aliens from Africa: The
Clandestine Slave Trade to the United States from 1808 to
1859. During this lecture, Professor Hall explores different
estimates on the demographics of the imported American
slave population between 1808 and 1859.”

MP3 podcast lecture by lecture at Boston University by Henry
Wiencek, 2004 (lasts one hour)..
“George Washington once said that slavery was his “only
unavoidable subject of regret.” Though he bought and sold
slaves during his life and even helped to protect the practice
through the U.S. Constitution, many have said that his
attitudes changed while commanding both black and white
soldiers during the American Revolution and that in the end,
he was a man ahead of his time when it came to slavery.
This week’s show featured a lecture by Henry Wiencek,
author of An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves
and the Creation of America. He discussed President

legislation aimed to pump billions into the nation's interstate
