The American Nation: A History of the United States to 1877

The political history of the United States is intimately tied with its social, economic and cultural development. Co-authors Mark Carnes and John Garraty explore this relationship and show how it took the voices and actions of many peoples to produce this singular political structure - The United States of America. Long renowned for its elegant narrative style, The American Nation in this Thirteenth Edition retains its most significant strength—its rich and memorable prose.
