Book excerpt: In the wake of the Civil War, every aspect of American life was to be shaped anew by the energies of a nation now reborn. The remarkable story of the growth these energies achieved is told here--beginning with General Grant's historic ride into the little village of Appomattox and the Battle of Appomattox Court House, and taking the reader up through the extraordinary staccato of modern-day political events. In this newly expanded and completely up-to-date edition, Foster Rhea Dulles vividly depicts the individuals, episodes, and ideas that have guided the course of over a hundred years of American history: reconstruction in the South, the westward surge, Populism and Progressivism, the New Deal, the impact of the Vietnamese conflict, and the Negro revolution on the American conscience. The United States Since 1865 is a record not only of political and economic events, but of social and cultural developments as well. New directions in literature and the arts, the advent of Henry Ford's Model-T and pioneer motion picture theaters, the cultural élan brought to the White House during the Kennedy years--these too contributed to the making of modern America. Written for the general reader as well as the student of American history, this authoritative work--along with its companion volume, The United States to 1865--provides a highly readable and thoroughly up-to-date reassessment of America's heritage to her citizens and to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive examination of the use of violence by conservative southerners in the post-Civil War South to subvert Federal Reconstruction policies, overthrow Republican state governments, restore Democratic power, and reestablish white racial hegemony. Historians have often stressed the limited and even conservative nature of Federal policy in the Reconstruction South. However, George C. Rable argues, white southerners saw the intent and the results of that policy as revolutionary. Violence therefore became a counterrevolutionary instrument, placing the South in a pattern familiar to students of world revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newly updated edition of this book makes a fine supplement to a college survey course in American history. It opens with the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, then goes on to chronicle the pivotal events of the late nineteenth- and entire twentieth century. It summarizes events surrounding U.S. entry into two World Wars, the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, the Civil Rights movement, and major events leading to the growth of the United States into the world's leading superpower. All significant events and personalities are briefly summarized under boldfaced topic heads. Review questions appear at the end of each chapter, with answers at the back of the book. Appendices include suggestions for essay questions, quick-check fact lists, a recommended reading list, and a short-entry dictionary of historical terms.
