"I've assembled my collection of FREE History PowerPoints for teachers to use in their classrooms.  This collection includes PowerPoints that I've used in my AP US History, AP European History, and World History courses.  Teachers are free to use these PowerPoints in part and may edit them, as well, as long as I receive credit for my work and that credit is also given to those who have graciously provided visual content for the slides."
