The American People: Creating a Nation and a Society, Volume II (Chapters 16-31) by Gary B. Nash
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.
