U.S. HISTORY 101

From colonial settlement to the modern presidency, Kathleen Sears compresses the American story into short entries that can be read in almost any order. The guide moves through founding documents, westward expansion, civil war and reconstruction, industrial growth, the world wars, civil rights and later political change, pausing on the people and places that anchor each period. Explanations stay brief and context-rich, which suits readers who want orientation rather than a full scholarly treatment. What the guide includes: • Key events, figures and locations across American history • Short entries arranged for quick reference or straight reading • Context connecting documents, movements and turning points • An introductory level pitched at students and general readers Useful for school and college students, quiz preparation and readers new to the subject, available in English at Boipoka.
