This website may be used as a whole to study the early 54 history of the nation in its entirety, or individual sections may be 55 selected to acquire a special knowledge. This site is not limited, 56 however, to just the history of the United States, but includes 57 shorter versions of the history of Canada and South America.</p> 58 <hr color="#660033" width="50%" size="3" /> 59 <h2><a href="a_new_world.htm">A New World</a></h2><p> 60 Volume 1. 61 History in its broadest aspect is a record of man's migrations from 62 one environment to another. America was the last great goal of these 63 migrations. He who would understand its history must know its 64 mountains and plains, its climate, its products, and its relation to 65 the sea and to other parts of the world.</p> 66 <h2><a href="spanish_conquerors.htm">The Spanish Conquerors</a></h2><p> 67 Volume 2. 68 Spain's attempt to conquer all of America was never as great as the 69 time period between 1492 and 1545. This section of the website will 70 provide the reader a deeper look into this time period, starting 71 with Columbus discovery of America.</p> 72 <h2><a href="english_exploration.htm">English Exploration of America</a></h2><p> 73 Volume 3. 74 It was during the reign of Elizabeth, the last of the Tudor 75 sovereigns of England, that Englishmen won the command of the sea 76 under the consummate leadership of Sir Francis Drake, the first of 77 modern admirals. Drake and his companions are known to fame as 78 Sea-Dogs. They won the English right of way into Spain's New World. 79 And Anglo-American history begins with that century of maritime 80 adventure and naval war in which English sailors blazed and secured 81 the long sea-trail for the men of every other kind who found or 82 sought their fortunes in America.</p> 83 <h2><a href="french_exploration.htm">Crusaders of New France</a></h2><p> 84 Volume 4. 85 France failed to dominate the Western Hemisphere, but that was not 86 want to the many officials, missionaries, seigneurs, voyageurs, and 87 habitants, who were all the scions of a proud race, admirably f
87itted 88 to form the rank and file in a great crusade. From their initial 89 settlement of the St. Lawrence River Valley they were consistently 90 driven westward, always questing for additional furs.</p> 91 <h2><a href="virginia_and_the_southern_colonies.htm">Virginia and 92 the Southern Colonies</a></h2><p> 93 Volume 5. 94 The quest for profit guided the establishment of Virginia, but a 95 search for religious haven led Catholics to Maryland. The Carolinas, 96 known first as "South Virginia," were a wilderness compared to 97 Virginia, but soon, hearty men who longed for the frontier, brought 98 their families south into the backwoods and settled into what would 99 become North Carolina. South Carolina, on the other hand, had great 100 plantations, a town society, suave and polished, a learned clergy, 101 an aristocratic cast to life. And then there was Georgia, created 102 from one man's vision of philanthropy, a second chance for the 103 downtrodden, vagabonds, and petty criminals of England, Germany and 104 France.</p> 105 <h2><a href="plymouth_and_new_england_colonies.htm">Puritans and 106 Pilgrims in New England</a></h2><p> 107 Volume 6. 108 The Pilgrims and Puritans, whose migration to the New World marks 109 the beginning of permanent settlement in New England, were children 110 of the same age as the enterprising and adventurous pioneers of 111 England in Virginia, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. England was full of
112 resolute men, sea-dogs and soldiers of fortune, captains on the land 113 as well as the sea, who in times of peace were seeking employment 114 and profit and who needed an outlet for their energies. Some of 115 these continued in the service of kings and princes in Europe; 116 others conducted enterprises against the Spaniards in the West 117 Indies and along the Spanish Main; while still others, such as John 118 Smith and Miles Standish, became pioneers in the work of English 119 colonization.</p> 120 <h2>Dutch Settlement in America</h2> 121 <p>Volume 7. Continue with Dutch Colonial Management (chapter 5)</p> 122 <h2><a href="quaker_colonies.htm">Quaker Colonies</a></h2><p> 123 Volume 8. Quakerism was one of the many religious sects born in the 124 seventeenth century under the influence of Puritan thought. Their 125 humane ideas and philanthropic methods, such as the abolition of 126 slavery, and the reform of prisons and of charitable institutions, 127 came in time to be accepted as fundamental practical social 128 principles. Led by William Penn, Quakers immigrated to America and 129 helped found the colonies of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.</p> 130 <h2> 131 <a href="colonial_folkways.htm">Colonial Folkways</a></h2> 132 <p> 133 Volume 9. Not until after the turmoil of the war which ended with 134 the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) do we begin to find a state of colonial 135 society sufficiently at rest to admit of a satisfactory review. The 136 half century from 1713 to 1763 is the period during which the life 137 of the colonists attained its highest level of stability and 138 regularity, and to this period, the training time of those who were 139 to make the Revolution, we shall chiefly direct our attention. It 140 will be an advantage, however, to preface a consideration of 141 colonial life with a reference to the topography of the country and 142 a review of the racial elements which made up its composite 143 population.</p> 144 <h2> 145 <a href="new_france.htm">New France</a></h2> 146 <p> 147 Volume 10: Many centuries of European history had been marked by war 148 almost ceaseless between France and England when these two states 149 first confronted each other in America. The conflict for the New 150 World was but the continuation of an age-long antagonism in the Old, 151 intensified now by the savagery of the wilderness and by new dreams 152 of empire. From 1690 to 1760 the combatants fought with little more 153 than pauses for renewed preparation; and the conflict ended only 154 when France yielded to England the mastery of her empire in America. 155 It is the story of this struggle, covering a period of seventy 156 years, which is told in the following pages.</p> 157 <h2> 158 <a href="age_of_invention.htm">Age of Invention</a></h2> 159 <p> 160 Volume 39: This volume is not intended to be a complete record of inventive genius 161 and mechanical progress in the United States. A bare catalogue of 162 notable American inventions in the nineteenth century alone could not be 163 compressed into these pages. Nor is it any part of the purpose of this 164 book to trespass on the ground of the many mechanical works and 165 encyclopedias which give technical descriptions and explain in detail 166 the principle of every invention. All this book seeks to do is to 167 outline the personalities of some of the outstanding American inventors 168 and indicate the significance of their achievements.</p> 169 <h2> 170 <a href="theodore_roosevelt.htm">Theodore Roosevelt and His Times</a></h2> 171 <p> 172 Volume 47: There is a line of Browning's that should stand as 173 epitaph for Theodore Roosevelt: "<em>I was ever a fighter</em>." 174 That was the essence of the man, that the keynote of his career. He
175 met everything in life with a challenge. If it was righteous, he 176 fought for it; if it was evil, he hurled the full weight of his 177 finality against it. He never capitulated, never sidestepped, never 178 fought foul. He carried the fight to the enemy.</p> 179 <p> 180 </p> 181 <!--<div id="buttons"> 182 <a class="blue" href="http://www.americanhistorycd.net/"><span class="head"> 183 Purchase...</span>Purchase American history dvd's »</a><a href="/timeline.htm" class="brown"><span class="head">Timeline...</span>Explore 184 history using a timeline »</a></div> 185 <div class="btm"><img src="images/content-btmright.jpg" alt=" " width="10" height="17" class="alignright" /><img src="images/content-btmleft.jpg" alt=" " width="10" height="17" class="alignleft" /></div> 186 </div>--> 187</div> 188 <div id="footer"> 189 <div> 190 <p class="alignright"><a href="/">Home</a><br /> 191 Site Design and Related Content Copyright 2006-2013 <a href="http://www.webifieddevelopment.com/">WebifiedDevelopment.com</a></p> 192 </div> 193 </div> 194</div> 195 196 197
