America: Past And Present : The Challenge Of New Frontiers

Plot

America: Past and Present Volume 2 is part of a comprehensive series that depicts cultural history of the U.S. for ESL and FL students. It has also been used effectively by native speaking students enrolled in English or Social Studies development programs. The texts are especially suited for university pre-university or secondary school curricula where students must acquire good English language skills as well as fundamental knowledge of American social and cultural history. Volume 2 offers an overview of key developments and personalities in the 19th Century beginning with the Age of Jackson and ending with an analysis of the Civil War and of the effects of that tragic struggle on the nation as a whole.
