Uncover the history of Antebellum America through the voices of those who lived it.

This book analyzes more than 70 primary documents from the antebellum period of American history, shedding light on various aspects of life in the USA from 1815 to 1861. From these document excerpts, organized into 40 topical sections, readers will come away with a first-hand account of what life was like in a period characterized by growing political, social and economic tensions, through exploring documents relating to society, economy, religion, foreign relations, war, literature and more. Documents are supported by commentary, biographical profiles, a chronology and glossary of terms.

Connecting the glory of the American Revolution/Early National era with the tragedy of the Civil War, the antebellum period often receives less attention in history books than either of these major events. Yet to understand antebellum America is to gain a fuller picture of American history and the significant events that followed it, especially many political and social developments of the early twenty-first century. This is a key resource for students wanting to delve into the history of this period, aided by an expert guide.
