Features

NEW! Achieve, an innovative online learning platform with robust tools. Providing activities for student engagement and analytics for instructor insight, Achieve for America’s History features LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, an integrated companion source reader, an online test bank, map quizzes, tutorials with assessment, and helpful course supplements, such as images and lecture slides. Adopt Achieve on its own or package with the print book.

A unique nine-part framework highlights key developments. America's History's periodizes history into nine distinct eras, each characterized by major developments and an overarching theme. Each part opener features an introduction to the period framed by three questions that probe key developments, a new visual thematic timeline that helps students identify the important forces shaping the period, and new part pre- and post-reading questions that help students make connections among chapters and understand continuity and change over time.

A comprehensive primary and secondary source program offers students practice in source analysis. Five types of primary or secondary source features offer many opportunities for assignment and discussion. In each chapter one "Thinking Like a Historian" feature asks students to analyze a group of documents and historical images then use the evidence to create an argument and one new "Visual Activity" image exercise per chapter with questions prompt students to read the image closely and make connections to the narrative. In half the chapters an America in the World feature gives students practice in comparison and data analysis using primary sources and data to situate U.S. history in a global context; in the other half of the chapters Comparing Interpretations features compare passages from two scholars who offer different interpretations of the same event or period.  Available packaged with the book and incorporated in LaunchPad, the new edition of the companion reader, Sources of America’s History, offers a wealth of additional documents.

A rich pedagogical framework encourages students’ curiosity and builds historical thinking skills. In addition to the skills developed through the book’s source features, students will gain proficiency in historical thinking skills as they read via marginal review questions that ask students to "Identify Causes," "Trace Change over Time," and "Understand Points of View." "Making Connections" and "Key Turning Points" questions in the chapter review section ask students to consider broader historical issues, developments, and periodization. 

An author team of leading scholars and veteran teachers make the best of the new scholarship accessible and relevant. Rebecca Edwards, Eric Hinderaker, and Robert Self all bring fresh perspectives, new scholarship, and in particular, an increased attention to capitalism and the economy.

New to This Edition

NEW! Achieve, an innovative online learning platform with robust tools. Providing activities for student engagement and analytics for instructor insight, Achieve for America’s History features LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, an integrated companion source reader, an online test bank, map quizzes, tutorials with assessment, and helpful course supplements, such as images and lecture slides. Adopt Achieve on its own or package with the print book.

Enhanced part openers help students focus on the major developments that define each period. To help students focus on why history developed as it did, the three brief thematic essays in the part introductions now begin with headings phrased as questions. New, visual thematic timelines focus on the most important developments of the era and help students see the context and relationship among events. New "Tying the Chapters in This Part Together" questions at the end of each part serve a dual purpose—they are pre-reading tools to focus students as they dive into the chapters and also serve as post-reading assignments that help students reflect on big-picture issues of the period.

Narrative updates incorporate the latest scholarship and highlight the history of capitalism. In addition to highlighting the history of capitalism throughout, the tenth edition also gives revised or expanded coverage of the following: colonial resistance to British reforms after the Seven Years’ War (chapter 5); the relationship between the French Revolution and American politics (chapter 7); organization and labor activism among women working in the Waltham-Lowell mills (chapter 8); Americans’ religious experiences in the Second Great Awakening (chapter 10); free African American communities in the antebellum era (chapter 10); slave resistance, including the 1811 German Coast uprising in Louisiana (chapter 11)eugenic ideas and their real-world consequences (chapter 17); the aftermath of World War I and the devastating worldwide consequences of the Treaty of Versailles (chapter 20); the rise and flourishing of youth culture in the twentieth century (chapter 25); key developments (such as growth of the black middle class and the advent of television) that made the Civil Rights Movement possible (chapter 26); the role of religion in social and political life after the 1970s (chapter 28); environmental and economic crises in the early twenty-first century (chapter 30); and the presidency of Donald Trump (chapter 30).

Enhanced pedagogical aids help students see what is most important and develop their historical thinking skills. New chapter visual timelines help students see how events relate to each other and emphasize the big picture. New Mapping the Past exercises attached to one map per chapter invite close scrutiny of the role of geography in American history.  New preview reading questions, appearing after each major heading in the chapter, guide students as they read. These aids, along with Identify the Big Idea chapter-opening questions; marginal reading questions that ask students to practice skills such as "Identify Causes," "Trace Change over Time," and others; plus end-of-chapter Review, Making Connections, and Key Turning Points questions; all add up to unparalleled support for elevating the main points and fostering historical thinking skills.


A revised and expanded set of special features offers fresh options for analyzing primary and secondary sources. New Visual Activity exercises, offered once per chapter, prompt close examination of visuals as primary sources and make connections to the narrative. The Comparing Interpretations secondary source feature and the America in the World primary source feature have been lengthened to provide richer material for analysis. New topics in this edition include the Comparing Interpretations feature "How Rational Were the Great Railroad Empires?" and Thinking Like a Historian features "Claiming the Oregon Country," "The Power and the Appeal of the Ward Boss," and "The Automobile Transforms America."

"America's History offers something for every student and instructor. There is a wealth of extra opportunities to read and ‘do’ history with the various sections like ‘Thinking Like a Historian.’ The text is straightforward and easy for students to understand, and it is inclusive of many points of view. I have used a lot of history textbooks in 25 years, and by far, this text is my favorite."
-- Lynne Nelson Manion, Eastern Maine Community College

"I have always liked America’s History because of its engaging, readable story of people. It is also nicely presented with well-chosen images and historical voices. It is the most student friendly text that I have ever used."
-- Nancy Rosenbloom, Canisius College

"This text offers a variety of ways to engage students and incorporates novel ways to engage them with primary sources to promote critical thinking."
-- Scott Seagle, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

"I'm impressed with the quantity and quality of primary sources and diverse voices in this collection. I think it would save time for me because I wouldn't have to search out as many primary sources or historians' interpretations. The narrative flows well."
-- Karen Auman, Brigham Young University

"It provides the essentials to make the study of American History inviting and exciting."
-- James P. Beil, Luna Community College
