| Summary | "History of the United States" by John Clark Ridpath is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide American youth with an accessible narrative detailing the progress of the United States from its early discovery through various key events in its history, including colonial times, the Revolution, and the Civil War. The author emphasizes the significance of understanding the past for the development of informed and responsible citizens. The opening of the text establishes its educational intent, highlighting the importance of U.S. history for young Americans. Ridpath describes the plentiful resources available for studying the nation's past and emphasizes his commitment to presenting American history in a clear and engaging manner. He outlines the seven distinct periods of American history that will be explored in subsequent chapters, starting with the Primitive Period, moving through Discovery and Colonization, the Revolution, the Growth of the Union, the Civil War, and finally the era of reconciliation and development leading up to the time of writing. This structured approach sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of American history that is both informative and relatable to students. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
