Overview
America's history is filled with controversy, whether it relates to how an event was chronicled, or the truth of the events themselves, the historical timeline of America is never without debate. This volume presents carefully selected conflicting essays with primary and secondary source quotations to allow students to debate the questions that come to mind with each event. Study questions for each section provide excellent starting points for research and discussion. Students will understand the rich history of disputation that has formed and informed American history from colonial times to the reconstruction.
