520    In Short History of the United States, Robert V. Remini 
       explores the arrival and migration of Native Americans 
       throughout the Western Hemisphere and their achievements; 
       the discovery of the New World by Europeans and the 
       establishment of colonies by the Spanish, French, English,
       and Dutch; the causes of the American Revolution; the 
       founding of a republic under the Constitution; the 
       formation of political parties; the War of 1812 and the 
       resulting economic and cultural changes; the democratic 
       impetus during the Jacksonian era; westward expansion and 
       the Mexican War; the struggle over slavery, which led to 
       the Civil War; Reconstruction and the rise of big 
       business; the emergence of the United States as a world 
       power; the descent into the Great Depression; the global 
       conflicts of the twentieth century; the rise of 
       conservatism; and the outbreak of terrorism here and 
       abroad. In addition, Remini illustrates how former English
       subjects slowly transformed themselves into Americans, and
       shows how a collection of sovereign, independent colonies 
       united to create a workable, constantly evolving 
       republican government whose democratic principles reflect 
       the changing mores and attitudes of the citizens it 
       represents. He explains the reasons for the nation's 
       unique and enduring strengths, its artistic and cultural 
       accomplishments, its genius in developing new products to 
       sell to the world, and its abiding commitment to 
       individual freedoms--From publisher description.
