Riassunto

From the time of founding the United States to the end of Reconstruction, America's founding principles evolved significantly due to a variety of cultural, political, and economic factors. The vast geographic expansion of the United States, the continual friction regarding slavery, and the ultimate outbreak of the Civil War all impacted perceptions about the fundamental direction of America's founding ideals. This primary source reader, THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THE UNITED STATES, show students how the United States evolved into the nation it is today. By presenting a rich collection of primary source readings, each with clarifying commentary to ensure student comprehension, this reader traces the manifestation of seven themes from the start of the United States through the Civil War period. These seven themes are: equality of opportunity; virtue; religion; education; republican government; limited government; and economic liberalism. By using these particular themes as the basis of organization, this book provides a unique interpretation of the ideological foundations of the United States.
