The History of America is as interesting as the Development of its diverse parts into a single powerful entity that drew strength from the spirit of democracy. When Columbus discovered America ‘by accident’ on his way to Asia, it was no one’s imagination that history had been created. The arrival of the Spaniards, the French and the British opened up the continent to exploration, exploitation and settlement. In the following pages the reader of history will find a fascinating account of the history of America, from the very earliest times to the present age. The early settlers, the Norsemen, the Red Indian natives and the subsequent waves of migration and on to the polarization of political forces into Republican and Confederate Factions, the War of Independence, the American Revolution and the promulgation of the Constitution-all these are dealt with in lucidly written chapters under the following heads: American Revolution, Making of the Constitution, Evolution of American Democracy, Sectional and Civil War, Reconstruction, Economic Change, The Progressive Era, Emergence as Imperialist Power, and World Wars. The publication will be of immense use to all, students as well as teachers of history.
