period 1783 to 1828, picking up after the conclusion of the
American Revolution and continuing up to the years when America was
expanding westward. It features a historical narrative that
provides an overview of the period, a chronology, and hundreds of
eyewitness testimonies from people who witness or lived through the
political events, social changes, popular culture, and economic
changes in this important period. It also deals with recent
insights about the importance of race and women's history in the
new nation. Eyewitness testimony from political leaders, inventors,
social commentators, women, African Americans, Indians, and many
others are included, and among the many military events covered are
the Quasi-War with France, the Tripolitan Wars, Indian fighting,
the Seminole Wars, and the War of 1812. Material on Canada is
included, since the fates of Canada and the United States were
closely linked in the period, and the connection in made
particularly clear in the chapter on the War of 1812, which took
place in both countries Simultaneously. To stimulate interest in
students and provide the most comprehensive account of the period,
this book also includes documents, capsule biographies of key
figures, a bibliography, an index, and more than 80 black-and-white
