AMERICAN HISTORY / GENERAL

ABC-CLIO SERIES
Guides to Historic Events in America

“Making sense of the American experience demands attention to critical moments—events—that reflected and affected American
ideas and identities. By drawing on the latest and best literature, and bringing together narrative overviews and critical chapters of
important historic events, the books in this series function as both reference guides and informed analyses to critical events that have
shaped American life, culture, society, economy, and politics and fixed America’s place in the world.” —Randall M. Miller
