Description
This updated work provides an introduction to the rich interplay of the social, cultural, economic and political forces which constitute the mosaic of the American past. Exploring major events, movements, organizations and personalities on a chronological basis, this text provides a view of the quality and texture of life in every period. Written in an accessible style, this book shows students how the lives of individuals - both national leaders and ordinary men and women - were affected by the diversity of forces at work during each period. This new edition includes totally revised chapters which place a greater emphasis on international affairs and provide new material on such subjects as slavery, the legacy of Vietnam, medicine and public health.
