Synopsis

This text weaves together the complex interaction of social, political and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which “the American people” have evolved. By telling stories of different peoples, it emphasizes that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region or group. Traditional turning points and watershed events are integrated with the stories of the nation's many diverse communities.
