American History in the 19th Century

by Emery John Michael Author

This book on American history follows chronologically its companion volume Early American History. It begins with the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition, and investigates changes in the character and ideals of America as it entered into the Industrial Age, Annexations, and the Gold Rush preceding the Civil War. Following detailed lessons and accounts of the war between the North and South, and the following Reconstruction, the lessons detail the growth of industry in the final decades of the 19th century. America’s role in 20th century history will be studied in the book on world history. This study is useful for grades 8 or 9.
