@lt;DIV@gt;When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President in March of
1933, the nation was near the depths of the Great Depression. Under
his leadership, the "New Deal" quickly began to take shape. The
series of programs gave the federal government a more substantial
role in helping the nation's economy return to and then stay on a
steady and prosperous course. The volume includes the major New
Deal Programs, writing by Eleanor Roosevelt, a section on
Roosevelt's critics, cartoons, and photographs.@lt;/div@gt;

of post-Civil War reconstruction focuses on problems facing the

account from a former slave owner, a journal of a teacher working
for the Freedman's Bureau, a portion of Booker T. Washington's Up
From Slavery, Congressional hearings about abuses by the KKK,
historic illustrations, and more. Amendments to the Constitution
regarding slavery and civil rights are also discussed.
