This comprehensive reader presents the development of America as it changed from an unexplored Indian land into a civilized and unified country as the Europeans and their descendents pushed into the frontier, constantly moving the borders to the west. James T. Wall depicts this development of a nation through this gradual engulfing of land to its sophistication as technology guided its evolution and a new democratic government took over. He notes the effects of other countries on the nature of America, while describing their relationship with the people there. Yet, Wall focuses on the growth and conflict that evolved as a vast frontier became a unified country that suffered from many internal and external conflicts. He ends with the conflict that temporarily divided the United States, the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Boundless Frontier\" is an impressive work of meticulous scholarship and a highly recommended, single volume survey of early American political history and development from colonial times through the end of the Civil War. * Midwest Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 The American Indians Chapter 3 Exploration and Discovery Chapter 4 English Interest in America Chapter 5 The Virginia Colony, 1607-1699 Chapter 6 The New England Colonies, 1620-1691 Chapter 7 The Middle Colonies, 1664-1702 Chapter 8 The Southern Colonies, 1632-1734 Chapter 9 Religion in Colonial America Chapter 10 Patterns of Settlement in North America Chapter 11 The Colonial Wars, 1689-1763 Chapter 12 British-American Estrangement, 1763-1775 Chapter 13 The American Revolution, 1775-1783 Chapter 14 The Confederation Government, 1781-1789 Chapter 15 The Federal Constitution Chapter 16 The Federalist Era, 1789-1801 Chapter 17 The Jeffersonian Era, 1801-1815 Chapter 18 The Era of Good Feelings, 1815-1825 Chapter 19 The Jacksonian Era, 1825-1841 Chapter 20 The Era of Manifest Destiny, 1841-1850 Chapter 21 The Era of Popular Sovereignty, 1850-1860 Chapter 22 The Era of the Civil War, 1861-1865 Chapter 23 Postscript: An Essay for Students Chapter 24 Works Cited Chapter 25 Index","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037758325079,"sku":"9780761813026","price":54.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761813026.jpg?v=1750937170","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-boundless-frontier-9780761813026","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
