Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The American Colonies, 1492-1750' provides a comprehensive exploration of the foundational years of the United States. Author Marcus Wilson Jernegan meticulously examines the political, economic, and social structures that shaped the early American experience from the initial era of European… exploration through the mid-eighteenth century. The work delves into the diverse motivations for colonization, the evolution of local governance, and the complex interactions between different cultural groups during this formative period.Through an in-depth analysis of the thirteen colonies, the text highlights the development of distinct regional identities and the gradual emergence of a unified American character. Jernegan covers critical topics such as the rise of representative assemblies, the growth of colonial commerce, and the shifting social hierarchies within the settlements. By focusing on the structural underpinnings of colonial life, this study offers valuable insights into the forces that eventually led to the revolutionary spirit. 'The American Colonies, 1492-1750' remains an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of early American history, providing a detailed portrait of the era's transformation from a collection of scattered outposts to a maturing society on the brink of significant change.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A complete and fine set of a scarce collection. This set provides a unique snapshot into the world's history and into the thinking of American veterans at the end of the first World War, optimistically thought to be the "war to end all war." Its objective of understanding America's role in a turbulent world is particularly timely. This thorough collection is not only for those who love beautifully wrought books, but also for those interested in history, war, peace, and in remembering those who sacrifice in times of strife. These 10 volumes tell the history of the world-ancient, medieval, and modern-and the history of the United States though the end of the first great World War. In addition to text, the set tells its story via thousands of black and white and color photographs and illustrations, and via hundreds of maps and charts, many color fold-outs. From the foreword: "…we have emerged from a world war, fought on our part to determine whether this nation, or any nation, may choose its way in peace. Five million Americans were called to the colors, and two million went overseas. Fifty thousand remain there forever. With the shock of this titanic conflict fresh in our experience, we now seek to understand its causes. Whether or not we may desire it, our interests have been drawn beyond America to the common problems of mankind. We are realizing that to comprehend the history of the United States one must know the history of the world. To promote, then, the intelligent civic insight that is one of the highest attributes of Americanism, this survey of the world's past has been prepared." From the website of the Disabled American Veterans organization (nee Disabled American Veterans of the World War), explaining its origins: "When the troops came home from World War I, some 300,000 carried grim reminders of war: disabling injuries, battle scars, gas-seared lungs, and prolonged illnesses. Following a tumultuous hero's welcome, America wiped the horror of war from its mind almost as quickly as the ticker tape was swept from the streets of New York City. As a result, the needs of the nation's disabled heroes were swept aside as well. Prejudice kept capable and qualified-but disabled-veterans from gaining employment in a job market with few enough opportunities to offer anyone. Veterans' benefits programs were administered by three separate government agencies with conflicting and overlapping responsibilities, leaving disabled veterans with massive confusion and red tape. Without a medical system dedicated to their needs, many disabled veterans found themselves sleeping on cots-or even on floors-in the halls of America's overwhelmed hospitals. Some just gave up the struggle, sitting on street corners with tin cups and signs reading: "Help Me. I'm a Disabled Veteran." Angered by the negligence and incompetence of the federal government in dealing with their problems, disabled veterans began forming local self-help groups in cities across America. In 1920, leaders from 250 of these groups gathered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Under the charismatic leadership of Judge Robert S. Marx, himself a veteran disabled in France, they federated into.
