Infos

This insightful introduction to the history of the United States spans from pre-European contact up to the present day. The textbook succinctly depicts the major themes and patterns in American history and incorporates social, economic, cultural, religious and political topics. The book begins before European settlement, and takes the reader through the revolutions, expansion and nation-building of the 18th century, the Civil War and industrialization of the 19th century, war and global supremacy of the 20th, up to the culture wars and social revolutions of the 21st. With two new chapters on Native America and Contemporary America (including the 2024 election) and more focus on gender, race and the environment throughout, the 6th edition boasts a new, improved structure and expanded notes and citations. A definitive introduction to the history of the United States, and written by a leading scholar in the field, this book is essential reading for any student looking to gain a better understanding of the various facets of American life, and the evolution of this great nation.
