In the wake of the Civil War, every aspect of American life was to
be shaped anew by the energies of a nation now reborn. The
remarkable story of the growth these energies achieved is told here
beginning with General Grant's historic ride into the little
village of Appomattox and the Battle of Appomattox Court House, and
taking the reader up through the extraordinary staccato of
modern-day political events. In this newly expanded and completely
up-to-date edition, Foster Rhea Dulles vividly depicts the
individuals, episodes, and ideas that have guided the course of
over a hundred years of American history: reconstruction in the
South, the westward surge, Populism and Progressivism, the New
Deal, the impact of the Vietnamese conflict, and the Negro
revolution on the American conscience. The United States Since 1865
is a record not only of political and economic events, but of
social and cultural developments as well. New directions in
literature and the arts, the advent of Henry Ford's Model-T and
pioneer motion picture theaters, the cultural elan brought to the
White House during the Kennedy years these too contributed to the
making of modern America. Written for the general reader as well as
the student of American history, this authoritative work along with
its companion volume, The United States to 1865 provides a highly
readable and thoroughly up-to-date reassessment of America's
heritage to her citizens and to the world.
