1299, A101 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Approaching the American history survey course in an innovative way, this mid-length text features a more expansive definition of political history that includes all forms of politics, not just electoral politics, while simultaneously incorporating cultural history. With the specific aim of expanding history beyond elite actors, The American Experiment emphasizes everyday work, family life, customs, and objects of cultural history to address its four themes: the role of government, American identity, the broad concept of culture, and America and the world. The Third Edition features an enhanced thematic approach that helps students understand America's development as an experiment in politics, culture, and identity, within a global context. 1 Out of Old Worlds, New Worlds 2 The First Experiments, 1540-1680 3 Imperial Connections, 1660-1748 4 Colonial Maturation and Conflict, 1680-1754 5 Forging the American Experiment, 1754-1775 6 Winning Independence, 1775-1783 7 The Federal Experiment, 1783-1800 8 Striving for Nationhood, 1800-1824 9 An Emerging Capitalist Nation, 1790-1820 10 Transforming the Political Culture, 1820-1840 11 Industry and Reform in the North, 1820-1850 12 Living with Slavery, North and South, 1820-1850 13 The Westward Experiment, 1820-1850 14 The Sectional Challenge, 1848-1860 15 Transforming the Experiment: The Civil War, 1861-1865 16 Reconstruction and the New South, 1864-1900 Steven M.
