Let's get it started then. What would you be interested in reading? I have some options on my reading list, maybe you are interested. If not, you can also suggest some titles and then we can decide.
If you are looking for books on the history of American Economics, check out American Colossus: The Triumph of Capitalism| A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America|An Empire of Wealth: The Epic History of American Economic Power|or Crash!: How the Economic Boom and Bust of the 1920s Worked (How Things Worked).
Each of those are well researched and easy to understand.
Edit: I forgot to add: The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money by John Maynard Keynes Hard to have a strong understanding of economics without understanding Keynesian theory.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but sure, why not?

^That is a good book that details how to build coherent arguments, and perhaps most importantly, should tell you why for a historian like Colin, artifacts of all sorts (yes, even those venerating the Confederacy built much later) are valuable and must be preserved.
That sounds super interesting. Do you think it sticks to bogus official stories (history written by the victors--like a typical US textbook)? Or does it go deeper? (I realize this is subjective, and I probably didn't word it well.)
On edit: Wow the reviews are great--

On edit: I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on the last portion of the book, which a lot of readers mention is weaker.

Fascinating insight into the country.
Our Republican Constitution by Randy Barnett is a fantastic discussion of the history of the Constitution and how it has evolved over time.

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
Anyone interested in this series may want to check out Underground Airlines. Reading it now and it's pretty solid. It's set in modern times but essentially Lincoln is assassinated in 1861 and the Civil War never happens.
I have not read all of these. Hopeful this will be a good excuse to start some of them sooner. Hopefully it is not too late to post in this thread.
