I was able to get accepted easily into Liberty University for an MA in History. I have a BALS with plenty of history within my degree. So just and FYI TESU does not seem to have any issues with acceptance.

TESU is regionally accredited and a public university there should not be any issues as long as you meet the general Liberty University admission requirements.
Now if it was a for-profit college or Nationally accredited maybe they will look twice at your credentials otherwise the program must fulfill enrollment. Not sure how many people would specifically apply to LU MA in History as I would imagine it is not the most popular and in-demand program in the school.

Liberty, SNHU, WGU, and the for profits, etc are very accommodating when it comes to "requirements", as long as you have the prerequisites of the Masters covered, you have a very good chance of getting into their programs. Furthermore, the degrees and/or programs that they offer do not have competitive or selective admissions... only a few are rejected, if any.

Congrats!
If you're applying to any other grad programs before you make your decision, you might also consider Pittsburg State University. Their MA in History costs $371 per credit hour for a total of $11,130 - $12,243, depending on whether you decide to do a thesis or additional coursework.

Liberty will accept up to 50% of most of their Masters in transfer credit. And they even accept Nationally Accredited grad credits. Could be opportunities to save some more money there.
On a side note, I'd inquired about some things a couple months back and asked Liberty if they considered Coast Guard Auxiliary to qualify for their First Responder Discount, and they said yes it counts. (In my experience, most don't even though we do disaster response and rescue operations.) So for anybody who volunteers in the Aux, that could be useful info.
