A History of North America

North America's history is far larger than the story of any one nation. From the first peoples and the ancient landscapes they inhabited to the continent's place in today's world, *A History of North America* follows the events and people that shaped Greenland, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.Across 30 illustrated chapters, the book explores Indigenous societies, European conquest, Atlantic slavery, revolutions and independence, westward expansion, civil war, industrialization, the world wars, the Cold War, and movements for rights and self-government. Haiti, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean stand alongside the United States throughout the account.Written as a clear chronological introduction, the book connects political events with geography, trade, migration, and everyday life. Maps and reference appendices help readers follow a continent whose borders and societies have never stood still.
