The Shortest History of the United StatesThe Shortest History of the United States

"The Shortest History of the United States tells the 250-year story of a nation often divided and the people who have stood up for its citizens' inalienable rights. Don Watson traces moments of liberty and justice, inequity and oppression, to show how a country at war with itself in the 1860s, and the leader of the free world less than a hundred years later, became a nation beset by wild division and turmoil in the twenty-first century"-- Provided by publisher.
