America's Nation-TimeDescription
"America's Nation-Time opens with the landings on the North American coast and ends with the election of George Washington. Mr. Labaree describes the early settlements and the social structure of seventeenth and eighteenth-century America. He analyzes government and politics, economic development, and the changing fabric of religion and culture. In the last section of the book, he discusses the critical events leading toward the colonists' break with Britain, the course of the Revolution, and the prospects for the new nation at the war's close. In a clear narrative style, America's Nation-Time provides a concise introduction to the people and events of the country's first two hundred years."--Publisher.
