About

The Experiment

Features
Read full description

The history of the United States taught in most schools follows a reliable arc: the battles won, the documents signed, the speeches given. It's not wrong. But the highlight reel skips the parts that are harder to explain - the thousands of people who died on prison ships nobody remembers, the mass smallpox inoculation Washington ran in secret while his army was vulnerable, the spy who helped win the Revolutionary War and then spent six years fighting for his own freedom afterward. This app is interested in that texture. 150+ timeline entries across 12 chapters of American history, from the birth of the republic to 1976. History requires distance - not because recent events don't matter, but because without it, context collapses into argument. The facts, left unedited, are strange and hard and worth knowing. More than 30,000 words of documented American history. No filler. What's included: - Primary source images from the Library of Congress and National Archives - Document Library: 32 original documents, declassified files, and primary source transcripts - Flag history: every significant version of the American flag, documented - All 50 states: admission dates, capitals, and one thing most people don't know about each - Reader Mode: distraction-free reading. Save your place with a bookmark Everything in this app is documented and verified. None of it is for a test.
