I'm really sort of looking for two things.
First, something that takes American history by the century, starting roughly 1600 to the present day. Sort of giving an overview of major events and movements happening in each time period.
Then I'd like recs on books that drill into specific events and movements throughout American history. Do you know of a particularly good bio of Teddy Roosevelt? Or is there something that details the Puritan movement? That's the kind of thing I'm looking for. Nothing is off limits or unwanted in regards to American history.

this isn’t a book but honest to god Khan Academy’s course on American history covered everything you talked about. my recommendation is to run down that entire course, notate all of the events or time periods that pique your interest, then look for books or Wikipedia articles ) that tackle those specific interests.
