Covering colonization to reconstruction, volume one combines political and social history to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past. A principle theme is the emergence of distinctively American ideals and the way the conflict between those ideals and reality has shaped the nation's development. The chronological presentation emphasizes geographical literacy, coverage of South and West; a balanced overview that tackles controversial issues; and the importance of religion in American society.
