From the Pilgrims to the Present

People's History of the United States tells the story of the United States from the arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 to the present day. It is a story of triumph and tragedy, of hope and despair, of progress and setbacks. But above all, it is a story of the people who have shaped the nation's history.

The book is divided into six parts, each of which covers a different era in American history. Part One, "The Colonial Era," begins with the arrival of the Pilgrims and ends with the American Revolution. Part Two, "The Early Republic," covers the period from the Revolution to the Civil War. Part Three, "The Civil War and Reconstruction," tells the story of the nation's bloodiest conflict and its aftermath. Part Four, "The Gilded Age," covers the period from the end of Reconstruction to the turn of the 20th century. Part Five, "The Progressive Era," covers the period from the turn of the 20th century to the First World War. And Part Six, "The Modern Era," covers the period from the First World War to the present day.
