Synopsis: This text, U.S. History 1865-Present and Constitutional Foundations, is a thorough update of our previous book, United States History and Government (Second Edition). Like the prior book, this new edition focuses on the origins, principles, and provisions of the Constitution and the history of the United States since 1865. Written first of all to be engaging, this text was also written to help you develop the skills and practices historians and social scientists use in their professions. These same skills--the ability to gather, interpret, and use evidence to answer important questions, to use chronological reasoning, and to participate in civic life--are also essential to being an effective and engaged citizen of the United States.
