Synopsis

Following the end of Reconstruction, which concluded the most divisive period in American history, the founding principles of the United States continued to evolve separately and distinctly. Issues such as the expansion of industry, increased immigration, and the perceived moral decline of society all contributed to the adjustment and realignment of America's founding ideals, especially during the course of the 20th century. This primary source reader, THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THE UNITED STATES, VOLUME 2 shows students how the United States evolved into the nation it is today. By presenting a rich collection of primary source readings organized by themes, each with clarifying commentary to ensure student comprehension, this reader traces the transitions in history. By using seven themes, which include equality of opportunity; virtue; religion; education; republican government; limited government; and economic liberalism, as the basis of organization, this book provides a unique interpretation of the ideological foundations of the United States.
