US History


U.S. History is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of most introductory history courses. The text covers the breadth of the chronological history of the United States, providing a balanced approach that considers the people, events, and ideas that have shaped the country from both the top down (politics, economics, diplomacy) and bottom up (eyewitness accounts, lived experience). U.S. History covers key forces that form the American experience, with particular attention to issues of race, class, and gender.
