Description and Table of Contents

Description

Written by an outstanding team of scholars and teachers, The American People seamlessly weaves together the rich and complex story of the creation and development of the American nation and American society. The narrative integrates discussion of public events such as presidential elections, wars, and reform movements with the private stories of ordinary Americans who participated in and responded to these events. As it unfolds the drama of American history, the Sixth Edition of The American People provides the most current scholarship and highlights the connections between the many factors--political, social, economic, technological, religious, cultural, international, and intellectual--that have shaped American society.
