How did a scattered string of colonies become a continental republic, torn and reunited in war and peace? One nation, told with clarity. In A Short History of the United States, distinguished historian John Spencer Bassett offers a concise United States history that follows the story from colonial America to Reconstruction and beyond. Designed as a general American history survey and a classic American history textbook, it distils political change, territorial expansion, and the growth of American democracy into a vivid, single volume US history. Bassett charts early American republic history, the forging of the Constitution, the rise of sectional tensions, and a balanced Civil War era overview that leads into the remaking of the nineteenth century United States. Clear, measured, and richly informed, it serves equally well as US history for students and as a dependable American history reference book. First published in the early twentieth century, this introduction to US history reflects the scholarship that shaped modern understanding of the American past while remaining highly readable for contemporary audiences. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for curious readers seeking a coherent narrative of the nation and for classic-literature collectors who prize enduring works of history, this new edition brings Bassett's clear-eyed overview back to the heart of historical study.
