Each U.S. historical event is covered succinctly yet clearly and objectively. The frequent sidebars offer additional stats and facts, which I think kids will really enjoy. I'm a history buff and I learned a ton. To help spark classroom discussion, teachers and librarians will appreciate the coverage of the Trail of Tears, The Indian Removal Act, Dred Scott, and Plessy v. Ferguson and 'the one drop rule.' A glossary and further reading are included, too. Every classroom needs a copy of this book!\" \n\u003cstrong\u003e--Trudi Strain Trueit, author of \u003cem\u003eExplorer Academy\u003c\/em\u003e series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"This is a great little history book. Concise and just the right length to spark an interest in American history. I especially like the cameo biographies interspersed throughout the book, as they take the reader even further into the lives of real people in history. My hope is that kids will take it further and read everything they can about these people and form their own opinions, read between the lines, and maybe even be inspired to be as strong and courageous as some of the people they read about in this book.
