Overview

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. Contents: Reader review: ""A well-balanced history that doesn't shy away from the difficult parts. Clear, factual, and very readable."" -- T. Jefferson This title belongs in American history sections and is appropriate for public libraries, schools, trade bookstores, and wholesale buyers serving general nonfiction readers. Order now.

Hi, I'm Auke, a passionate advocate for the Frisian language with deep roots in Frisian culture. I grew up in this vibrant heritage and have dedicated myself to preserving our unique linguistic identity. It's spoken by about 500,000 people, mostly in Friesland, Netherlands. As a key contributor to Skriuwer.com, I work with others to create books that educate and inspire, helping ensure the Frisian language, recognized as an official language alongside Dutch, stays alive for future generations. My work comes from a strong belief in language as the foundation of history and belonging. I'm proud that proceeds from these books support nonprofit efforts like De Fryske Wrâld.
