The History of the United States of America: Understanding America's Past (Skriuwer.com Edition) - Paperback

by Auke de Haan (Author), Jennifer Joseph (Author)

The United States is a relatively young nation with a history that has moved faster and more dramatically than almost any other country. From the early European settlements and the displacement of indigenous peoples, through the Revolution, the Civil War, and the long expansion westward, to the country's rise to global power in the twentieth century, American history covers enormous ground in a short span of time.

This book provides a clear chronological account of American history from the colonial period to the present, covering the major political, military, and social developments that shaped the nation. It gives attention to the perspectives of people who have often been left out of standard accounts, including enslaved people, Native Americans, immigrants, and working-class communities, while maintaining a clear narrative thread throughout.
