It includes 25 profiles -- spanning more than 250 years -- of men, women, and children living and working in the Colonial Era in the country that would become the United States of America. Like the other works in this series, this volume observes the lives of working Americans, in this case, pilgrims, colonists, settlers, slaves and Native Americans -- those who helped shape the history of the country -- decade by decade. It covers all ages, a wide range of geographical and social backgrounds, and a variety of professions, some of which focus on fortune, some on fame, and some on survival. All profiles are supported by dozens of images, and demonstrate the various roles that colonial Americans -- Natives, European immigrants, and African slaves -- played in laying the groundwork for the establishment of the American project. This volume celebrates the contributions of a wide swath of Americans in shaping the future nation's development and direction, deepening the understanding of how their actions influenced the world in which we live today. In a detailed fashion, this content helps the reader reflect on the role that colonial actors, both large and small, played in shaping the future of our country, reinforcing the fact that all of us continue to be capable of effecting change in our own community, building a new future for the ongoing American experiment"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCivilization$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862898 606 $aEconomic history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901974 606 $aSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$yTo 1865 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$yTo 1865 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$yTo 1783 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 7$aCivilization. 615 7$aEconomic history. 615 7$aSocial conditions. 676 $a330.973 701 $aDerks$b Scott$01602119 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816782003321 996 $aThis is who we were$93928603 997 $aUNINA
