audiobook Upon these Shores: Themes in the African-American Experience 1600 to the Present by From Routledge in History

Description

Revolutionary America explains the crucial events in the history of the United States between 1763 and 1815; when settlers of North America rebelled against British rule; won their independence in a long and bloody struggle; and created an enduring republic. Now in its second edition; Revolutionary America has been completely revised; updating the strengths of the previous edition. New features include: New introduction for the second edition. New chapter on Native Americans. Revised and expanded bibliographic essay. Updated historiography throughout the text. Companion Website with study aids; maps; and documentary resources. Revolutionary America also examines those who were excluded from the immediate benefits and rights secured by the creation of the new republic. In particular; author Francis D. Cogliano describes the experiences of women; Native Americans; and African Americans; each of whose experiences challenged the principle that "all men are created equal;" which lay at the heart of the American Revolution. Placing the political revolution at the core of the story; Revolutionary America presents a clear history of the War of Independence; and lays a distinctive foundation for students and scholars of the Early Republic.
