Opis: A History of the United States of America - Morris Charles

Excerpt from A History of the United States of America: Its People, and Its Institutions

In the intellectual development of the youth of America there can be no more healthful and important discipline than a study of the history of their own country in its events, institutions, and social and industrial movements. As an aid to the acquirement of such knowledge this work has been prepared. It is necessarily condensed in statement, yet even in a volume of this extent it is quite possible to indicate the leading events of United States history, show their relations and historical significance, and give a fair general comprehension of the circumstances attending the civilized occupation of America.

In the preparation of this work several essential considerations have been kept steadily in view. These include clearness and accuracy of statement, simplicity of language, and avoidance of partisan or sectional opinions, impartiality being made a leading requisite. This country has been the scene not only of rapid progress in times of peace, but of several wars of great political significance. While it was not deemed expedient to dwell on the details of these wars, their causes, general movements, and results have been given in each instance in such fulness as its importance seemed to demand.

The public conception of what constitutes history has greatly broadened within the present century. Formerly the doings of courts and kings and the details of battles and sieges were the leading considerations.
