- Synopsis
- This is a history of the many different peoples who have shaped the United States as it is today. Whenever possible, I have focused on the stories of average everyday women and men who have created this country. In a survey of U.S. History it is essential to tell the stories of the leaders--the people from George Washington to Barack Obama and also from Benjamin Franklin to Andrew Carnegie to Jane Addams--who have had been the best known leaders of their generation. At the same time I believe it is equally important to tell the story of some of those whose names have been forgotten--women and men who fought in the Revolutionary army, enslaved people who ran away or found other ways to resist and ultimately gain freedom, women who worked for decades to win the right to vote, immigrants who came to the United States in the hope of building a better life, American Indians of many different tribes who found ways to maintain their cultures in spite of formidable obstacles. These and many other people are essential to the story that is told in this book.
