America: From New Nation To Divided Union, 1783-1877
Visão Geral
In 1783 the United States was thirteen quarrelling states held together by a treaty and a war debt. By 1877 it was a continent-spanning nation that had abolished slavery, rewritten its own constitution three times over, and fought the bloodiest war in its history against itself. Ninety-four years, and almost nothing about the country at the end would have been recognisable to the men who signed the peace in Paris.
This is a breadth study, so the examiner is not asking you to recite the story year by year. The questions are about pace and cause: why the union held for seventy years and then broke, why expansion westwards kept forcing the slavery question back onto the table, and why a war that ended slavery did not end inequality.
