America's Story (Group 2)

This exciting set introduces readers to seminal periods
in United States history that changed the landscape of the country, from the
fight for independence from Great Britain to the United States banding together
with its former parent country less than 150 years later to fight the Central
Powers in World War I. Readers will gain insight into the American Revolution,
the formation of the new republic, the process of westward expansion, and the
Great War through primary sources such as letters and newspaper articles.
Students will gain a fuller understanding of these different periods in U.S.
history thanks to the close analysis of diverse primary sources, sidebars that
explain unfamiliar terms, and questions that will help them think through and
evaluate each source.
