Compiled by Pulitzer Prize winning author David Brion Davis and Steven Mintz, this collection of documents rediscovers America through the eyes of Christopher Columbus, John Winthrop, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Nat Turner, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe and their lesser-known contemporaries. Davis brings the enduring legacy of slavery, race, and rights in American history to the foreground using these primary, first-person sources, rethinking the national story of the USA.
