Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is a union of fifty states and territories. Each of the 50 states has a unique history, and each state also has a unique place in the history of the federation. It is fascinating to learn about the differences among the various states. This book presents a short history of each of the 50 states in full colour. In it you will also find the popular but unofficial names of the states. The various states have the flexibility of making their own rules and regulations in carrying out their day-to-day duties and administration. The individual states are also governed as semi-autonomous entities. In some cases, the laws governing one state may be different from those governing another. The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every state in the Union a republican form of government. Article IV, Section 4, obligates the federal government to defend and protect the states against foreign invasion and against domestic insurrection. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." (Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution). By protecting the states the United States is also protected from being parceled and threatened. Thus the Constitution protects each of the states and ensures correct application of laws by the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government. You will likely be amazed as you read this book about the many things we take for granted or assume we know about the United States, even as citizens of this great nation. This book will provide you precise, in-depth knowledge about the history of the 50 states that you do not usually find in textbooks. It is ideal reading for all ages.

Book excerpt: The history of the American Revolution has been obscured by hero worship and sacred symbols. Using original sources-articles of clothing, crafts, artwork, and tools, as well as documents-Alfred F. Young and Terry J. Fife attempt to "rescue from oblivion" the ordinary men and women who played so vital a role in shaping the new nation and whose stories have been eclipsed by the extraordinary leaders of that era.Based on a permanent exhibition at the Chicago Historical Society, We the People offers an unfamiliar approach to familiar material. It addresses two central questions: What roles did ordinary people play in creating the nation? and, To what extent did they achieve the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? More than 200 artifacts are analyzed in their historical context to explore the meaning of the revolutionary era. The authors invite readers to evaluate and interpret visual evidence from the past: revered objects such as the official Declaration of Independence and Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre are juxtaposed with objects of everyday life-a slave's shackles, a soldier's powder horn, a letter from a "minuteman" in the Battle of Lexington.Blending new social and cultural history with traditional political narrative, Young and Fife redefine and resort the controversies that marked the revolutionary era from the perspective of ordinary people as well as the "founding fathers." George Washington, John Adams, and Tomas Jefferson figure prominently in this history, as do farmers, artisans, women, African Americans, and American Indians. The book is unique in the way it frames the period, expanding the story of the founding of the Republic by extending it to a full generation beyond the Revolution into the early national era and by extending it geographically into the Old Northwest.With arresting images and authentic voices, We the People captures an American past that will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers who are interested in confronting anew fundamental questions about the founding of America that resonate in our own era.
