Overview
In its short history, the United States has been shaped by many important events. Read about Ellis Island, the first stop for millions of immigrants headed for North America, from 1892 to 1954; the Great Depression, the economic hardship that followed the worldwide financial collapse of 1929; and the March on Washington in 1963, when hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protested the discrimination faced by Black Americans. Features include detailed maps, educational front/back matter, full-color illustrations, full-color photographs, glossary of key words, index, informative sidebars, primary-source text, sources for further research, suggested websites, and table of contents. Downloadable Teacher Notes available.
