Publisher's Synopsis
The early history of the United States can seem like a storybook, beginning with the colonies' surprising victory in the American Revolution. But in reality, the founding of the country was much more complex, with episodes of inspiration and accomplishment as well as chapters of tragedy and shame. This thought-provoking series offers an in-depth, well-balanced exploration of the topics, including slavery, immigration, westward expansion, and Native American displacement and disenfranchisement. Informative fact boxes delve further into the background of critical issues. The appealing series design includes historical photographs and graphic organizers, which correlate with the carefully researched information in each accessible text.
