This diverse and distinctive collection of secondary sources, written by a variety of authors, emphasizes social and cultural history.  Each article illuminates the complexity and richness of the nation's past by focusing on the people themselves--how they coped with, adjusted to, or rebelled against America.  The readings examine people as they worked and played, fought and loved, lived and died.

• Popular culture and high-interest topics engage students and show different facets and angles of historical events.
• A large number of readings provide instructors a wealth of choices.

• Condensed early chapters. This new edition has combined the first two sections into one Part I: Colonial Life, to better match the organization and balance of U.S. history survey courses.
• Expanded coverage of 1790s-1820s.  In Part II: Revolutionary Generation, a new article has been added about the yellow fever epidemic that struck Philadelphia in 1793.  Two new articles in Part III: Adjusting to America, address violence, gender, and intemperance.
• A new Article on the Seneca Falls Convention on women’s suffrage adds deeper coverage of women's rights in Part IV : The Age of Imagination.
• A New selection, "Americans Divided" in Part IV: The Age of Imagination, addresses ethnic and labor relations and the lynching of a black worker in St. Louis in 1841.
