In Volume Two of this critical and epic history of the United
States of America, the new industrial civilization takes the virgin
continent in its vise. The sheer size of the space to be tamed and
exploited propels the young nation to pinnacles of ingenuity and
greed. Immense resources in humans and commodities, such as exist
nowhere else and will never exist again, are thrown into
production. While the autochtonous peoples are suppressed and
exterminated, the descendants of the displaced Africans struggle
out of appalling conditions of slavery. Masses of hopeful humanity
from the old continent are sucked into dreams of prosperity and of
a decent life which will come true only for their descendants.
While expanding gigantically, the Republic threatens to break apart
and saves itself only by resorting to a fratricide war, the first
industrialized war in history. A civilization emerges, where man is
no longer "the measure of all things."
