A People and a Nation integrates social and cultural history by emphasizing the everyday experiences of ordinary people. The spirited narrative is often based on primary source documents. Included in every chapter is the "How Do Historians Know" feature—an in-depth analysis of historic artifacts that shows how scholars interpret historic events and trends.
The Sixth Edition includes the most recent scholarship regarding the antebellum South, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Chapters are reconfigured to cover smaller increments of time, with topics and regions more fully integrated. Also new to this edition: coverage of slavery in the colonial period, expanded treatment of the West, a stronger emphasis on women, new coverage of 20th century foreign relations, and enhanced discussion of the United States in the world.
The "Legacies for a People and a Nation" feature focuses on a specific event, movement, or meaningful fact that relates to present-day issues. These "legacies" demonstrate the relevance of the past to current events, providing a forum for contemporary analysis and a starting point for discussion.
