The South in the History of the Nation: A Reader, Volume Two: From Reconstruction

A new kind of primary-source reader for the U.S. survey, The South in the History of the Nation enlivens American history for students in the South by placing it in familiar contexts. Each volume explores episodes and issues of national import with regional examples: more than 100 readings drawn from southern sources that balance a variety of political and social topics. The organization and pace of the chapters parallel most major survey tests, allowing instructors to easily assign the reader without making extensive alterations to the syllabus.
