The new reference series, Landmark Events in U.S. History, uses
both contributed essays from eminent scholars and excerpts of
primary source documents with explanatory headnotes to focus on
critical events in American political history and explains how it
came about and why it continues to play such a vital role in the
history and political evolution of the United States. The first
three books in the series are Marbury versus Madison, The Louisiana
Purchase, and Declaration of Independence.
The Louisiana Purchase combines documents and analytical essays
timed for the bicentennial in 2003. This important edition will
explain:
-- how and why the United States acquired the massive territory
that more than doubled the size of the country
-- the profound social and political changes that came in the wake
of the Purchase
-- its impact on such far reaching topics like the Constitution,
slavery, federalism, political behavior, nation building,
transportation, the media, and global affairs
-- how major historical figures like Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr,
and James Madison, were influenced by the Purchase.
