The Democratic Experience: Civil War to present

Résumé du livre

Eight distinguished historians have taken a thoughtful look at their time period and the latest scholarship. Within each of the eight parts, they focus on the social changes, the cultural trends and the ideas that dominated that period. Special attention also has been paid to the role of technology. What emerges is a clear picture of the interrelationship of the nation's culture and its political and economic life. The authors have given thoughtful attention to the issues that continue to affect the nation's development; the individual's liberty and opportunities; the government's authority; and the evolution of the American political system.
