The History of North America (Volume XVIII): The Development of the North Since the Civil War

By Guy Carleton Lee, Joseph Morgan Rogers, Guy Carleton 1862-1936 Lee

Book Overview

From Appomattox to the dawn of modern America, the North remade itself at speed. Factories rise; cities swell; change. In The History of North America (Volume XVIII): The Development of the North Since the Civil War, Joseph Morgan Rogers traces how victory in war became a new kind of contest: for capital, votes, and social power. Written as an academic history survey with the readable drive of narrative non-fiction, this north american history volume maps the United States after 1865 through reconstruction era history and into gilded age america, when railways, finance, and mass immigration reshaped everyday life. Rogers attends to industrial growth and labor, the tensions between employers and organised workers, and the changing rhythms of post civil war society from farm to factory to metropolis. As a scholarly reference volume, it offers a clear spine of dates, debates, and causes, ideal for history research and study, and a reliable companion to any college american history text concerned with the progressive era origins of policy, reform, and modern citizenship. Its judgements, grounded in sources, illuminate the roots of identity and national ambition. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For the casual reader, it is a crisp account of the development of the north; for the classic-history collector, a period voice that captures how earlier scholars framed the making of a nation.
