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.
