"This third entry in the new Great Events from History -- American History series picks up where the second left off, encompassing slavery, the American Civil War, the Reconstruction era, ongoing relations with Native Americans, the country's expansion and admission of new states to the Union, shifting politics and successive presidential elections, the expanding roles of women in society, the coalescence of American culture, expansion of commerce and industry, and ultimately the nation's entry into World War I. Essays cover important events such as the Compromise of 1850, the Battle of Gettysburg, the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Apache Wars, the founding of the modern New York Times, the formation of the first U.S. professional baseball team, the Wright Brothers' first flight, the Pullman Strike in Chicago, and many more. Some essays also contain sidebars dedicated to short biographies of important figures from the era. Topics are organized into 13 categories and arranged chronologically within each section."--
