Description

No era in American history has been more fascinating to Americans, or more critical to the ultimate destiny of the US, than the colonial era. Between the time that the first European settlers established a colony at Jamestown in 1607 through the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the outlines of The united states’s distinctive political culture, economic system, social life, and cultural patterns had begun to emerge. Designed to complement the highschool American history curriculum in addition to undergraduate survey courses, “Colonial The united states: An Encyclopedia of Social, Political, Cultural, and Economic History” captures it all: the people, institutions, ideas, and events of the first three hundred years of American history. Even as it specializes in the thirteen British colonies stretching along the Atlantic, Colonial The united states sets this history in its larger contexts. Entries also cover Canada, the American Southwest and Mexico, and the Caribbean and Atlantic world straight away impacting the history of the thirteen colonies. This encyclopedia explores the complete early history of what would develop into the US, including portraits of Native American life in the immediate pre-contact period, early Spanish exploration, and the first settlements by Spanish, French, Dutch, Swedish, and English colonists. This monumental five-volume set brings The united states’s colonial heritage vibrantly to life for lately’s readers. It includes: thematic essays on major issues and topics; detailed A-Z entries on hundreds of people, institutions, events, and ideas; thematic and regional chronologies; hundreds of illustrations; primary documents; and a glossary and more than one indexes.
