Encyclopedia of U.S. History By Lawrence W. Baker

U•X•L Encyclopedia of U.S. History introduces students to the history of the United States from pre-Colonial America to present day. This 8-volume set explores the timeline of America: its founders, key historical figures, wars, events, political environment, economy, and culture. Entries were selected with guidance from the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) Curriculum Standards for Social Studies—Middle School, which were adopted in 2002. The NCSS standards’ eras are: Three Worlds Meet (Discovery of the New World, beginnings to 1620); Colonization and Settlement (1585–1763); Revolution and the New Nation (1754–1820s); Expansion and Reform (1801–61); Civil
War and Reconstruction (1850–77); the Development of the Industrial United States (1870–1900); the Emergence of Modern America (1890–1930); the Great Depression and World War II (1929–45); Postwar United States (1945 to the early 1970s); and Contemporary United States (1968 to the present).
