in the six-title series History Through Literature: American
Voices, American Themes, provides insights and analysis regarding

slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. It brings together
informational text and primary documents that cover notable

landmarks of the period. This is followed by a comprehensive
overview essay that summarizes the era's major historical trends,
social movements, cultural and artistic themes, literary voices,
and enduring works as reflections of each other and the spirit of
the times. The core content comprises 20-30 articles on
representative writers of the period, along with excerpts from
essential literary works that highlight a historical theme,
sociocultural movement, or the confluence of the two. These
excerpts serve the Common Core emphasis on "informational texts
from a broad range of cultures and periods", including "stories,
drama, poetry, and literary nonfiction".
