4.9/5 (16291 ratings)

Description:Our approach to history is eclectic. We do not think that the past should be studied from a single viewpoint or that it can be explained by one theory to the exclusion of all other theories. But, while rejecting any over-all thesis, we have not failed to take a stand on controversial issues. In each instance the nature of the issue has helped to determine our stand; and the fact that we have advanced a succession of different interpretations rather than used the same interpretations for a succession of events accurately reflects our conviction that every historical event is unique. The organization of these volumes represents a compromise between the chronological and topical approaches to the material under consideration. We have divided American history into a number of comparatively large periods, and within each period we have dealt with a series of major topics. This method necessitates some repetition, but in a book that is designed for students repetition, in our view, is an asset rather than a defect. We have proceeded on the hypothesis that no part or period of American history is inherently more important than any other, and we have therefore sought to present in all its aspects the history of the American people.(taken from the Preface)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
