History Of The United States - A Chronology: A Five Part Series

This five-part series provides a chronological look at the development of the United States from the earliest explorers to the present. After settlement and struggles with the Native Americans,America gains its freedom from Britain in the Revolutionary War and creates a new constitution. The Louisiana Purchase and war with Mexico spread the country across the continent, but the issue of slavery threatens to divide the republic. A mighty civil war cannot halt westward expansion; war with Spain is followed by the two world wars. The Cold War and the magnificent achievements of the space age bring us into the 1990s. More than a chronicle of leaders and battles, the lives of the common man and ordinary experiences presented here reveal the color and a day-to-day sense of evolving American destiny. Rarely seen materials from the official archives of the Smithsonian Institute, a blend both of events of common knowledge and lesser known individuals, circumstances, and unusual backgrounds, yield a lively and enriched view of our country's history.
