American History Made Simple

An ideal primer for high school, community college, and continuing education students. Sets the historical facts in a relevant context, from the first slighting of land in 1492 through the presidency of George Bush. Reflects the concerns of contemporary historians, including the impact of major events on everyday life and a discussion of minorities—native peoples, women, and African Americans. Appendices include the Constitution and its Amendments, and a listing of the Presidents. Includes a valuable “Time-Line” that highlights major events year by year in an easy-to-read format.
