Opposing Viewpoints in American History

Published by Greenhaven Press
Grade 10-12+
A lot happened in America between 1996 and 2006; this revised second edition keeps students informed about the pivotal moments of the last decade. Vital new content and a more appealing layout make this much-needed set even more desirable than its predecessor, the 1996 edition. Opposing Viewpoints in American History uses primary sources to convey multiple perspectives on a particular historical event. This approach encourages critical thinking and intelligent analysis of history, not just memorization of dates and other rote details. Two volumes covering American history from colonial times to the present, this inexpensive resource is easy to fit on the shelf and into the budget.
