America's Story 2 (Student)

America had formed its fledgling nation, but all was not well within the Union. Slavery continued to cause disputes among the states until there was a civil war. Conflicts emerged as settlements kept expanding to the West, encroaching on Native American lands. And the Industrial Revolution was changing the way Americans lived and worked in the growing nation. In the lives of soldiers and sailors, outlaws and lawmen, pastors and pioneers, as well as Native Americans struggling to continue their traditional way of life, we see the history and controversies of the resilient nation unfold before us.
