Encounters: Change, Progress, and Traditions in American History,
Volume 1 offers students an insightful selection of readings on the
history of the United States spanning from pre-Columbian times
through the Reconstruction Era. The carefully selected articles in
this volume reflect new scholarship and fresh perspectives
regarding key concepts and events in American history. The book
begins with a chapter that dismantles prevalent assumptions,
misconceptions, and generalizations regarding Native American
peoples and how they lived prior to the arrival of Christopher
Columbus on the continent. Additional chapters proceed
chronologically, offering students readings regarding European
exploration in the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries, the
Columbian Exchange, the development of American colonies, and the
impetus of the American Revolution. Students read about the
challenges of establishing an independent nation, the growth of
markets and industrialization, slavery, manifest destiny, and
sectionalism. Closing chapters address the American Civil War and
the Reconstruction Era. Each chapter includes an introduction to
provide context for the readings and discussion questions to
promote critical thinking. Providing students with diverse
viewpoints regarding critical historical events, Encounters is well
suited for introductory courses in American history.
