Instead, the late nineteenth century defined modern America, as Southerners, Northerners, and Westerners gradually hammered out a national identity that united three regions into a country that could become a world power. Ultimately, the story of Reconstruction is about how a middle class formed in America and how its members defined what the nation would stand for, both at home and abroad, for the next century and beyond. A sweeping history of the United States from the era of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, this engaging book stretches the boundaries of our understanding of Reconstruction. Historian Heather Cox Richardson ties the North and West into the post-Civil War story that usually focuses narrowly on the South, encompassing the significant people and events of this profoundly important era. By weaving together the experiences of real individuals-from a plantation mistress, a Native American warrior, and a labor organizer to Andrew Carnegie, Julia Ward Howe, Booker T. Washington, and Sitting Bull-who lived during the decades following the Civil War and who left records in their own words, Richardson tells a story about the creation of modern America. 606 $aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 606 $aNational characteristics, American 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMiddle class$zUnited States$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1865-1900 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y1865-1898$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1865-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aMiddle class$xPolitical activity$xHistory 676 $a973.8 700 $aRichardson$b Heather Cox$0874335 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451950903321 996 $aWest from Appomattox$92475522 997 $aUNINA
