Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This comprehensive collection contains 11 CD-ROMs, covers two semesters, and traces the momentous events that shaped the United States of America. Semester one begins with the Jacksonian Democracy, which surveys Andrew Jackson's stormy presidency, and ends with an in-depth look at the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that ensued. Semester two offers an overview of the U.S. government from 1783 to 1977. You'll follow the U.S.'s transformation from a newcomer on the international scene to a leader in world affairs.

Learn about the difficulties of rebuilding the Union after the Civil War and the efforts of freed slaves to gain equality. See how the West of books and movies is not the West of historical fact. Examine the methods used by the government to acquire Native American lands, the pioneer movement, and more. Explore the unionism of the 1930s. Witness the effects of various reform movements. Chart the involvement of the U.S. in world affairs up to the Kennedy era as you gain an in-depth understanding of what it means to be an American.
