From world's colliding Europe, Africa, and America to America's establishment to post war reconstruction, this is one every American should read. An interesting, informative, and quite readable history of early American culture and politics. Age-old conflicts of owner vs. I espec An interesting, informative, and quite readable history of early American culture and politics.
I especially liked the sections titled American Voices, which gave contemporary accounts of historical events as written by the people who witnessed them. I was also impressed by the thorough dissection of battlefield strategies used during the Civil War, as well as the very complex and ultimately failed period of Reconstruction. This book is definitely a keeper, and I'm not even a history student. View 2 comments. A very clean text. Chapters are long but packed with meaningful information that is well formatted for study.
I really like how it ties history given earlier in the text, carrying it into latter chapters. It shows that history is interlocking movements and events, not just dates that can be cleanly laid out on a timeline. The primary sources given in the workbook were a great addition. I also like the recommendations at the end of each chapter to learn more on the topic. No Justifications for racist Colonialism, no romantisizing of Native Americans, no propaganda of any kind in this.
Just clear, concise, and true. Plus you'll learn things you never knew before or even heard of. Everyone including non-college students should read this book. For instance, you'll read that most people were against the American Patriot Movement because they were seen as extremists and opportunists who wanted to replace the Monarchy with ce, informative, and un-biased scholarly work.
For instance, you'll read that most people were against the American Patriot Movement because they were seen as extremists and opportunists who wanted to replace the Monarchy with their own ultra-nationalist dictatorships, Native Americans converted to Christianity to steal white men's spiritual secrets, most went back to their own religions, some became Christian Shamans, and others were a mix of Pagan and Christian to combine the power of Jesus with that of the elements and spirits.
Many Native Americans were as racist and opportunistic as the whites who came to Americs the only difference between the two was the advancement of each others weapons technology. Some even owned slaves, inter married with them, so there are separate tribes of half black Native Americans, Witchcraft was openly practiced by Christians In America and used the reading of Omens and Soothsaying and astrology to read God's commands.
It was only bad when non-christians practiced it apparently so there was an entire civil division of Christianity of Witches and Non-witches theologically fighting each other. There's just so much this amazing book brings to the table this is my Christmas gift to you all.
Includes documented opinions and eye witness accounts from people who lived there at the time. Trust me, you'll love it. Also, it traces various Revolutionary ideas from the Right and Left wings including what eventually became Communism, religious revivals, reforms, and Revolutions, everything. A fine history text, but somewhat sporadic. I used this book in a US History to class, and from what I remember, it really jumped around.
There's a reason textbooks are usually almost pages, and this book - the only one for the class - was not enough it's less than half as long to single-handedly provide a base in the historical chronology.
The issues Henretta did touch on, however, he describes incredibly well. An even-handed and often unheard history of the American Revolution was v A fine history text, but somewhat sporadic. An even-handed and often unheard history of the American Revolution was very informative, and though he doesn't spend too long talking about it, the complicated social and religious dynamics between Native Americans, Europeans, and Black slaves are elaborated on quite well.
