Two-color and four-color maps illuminate every period of American history. Their themes cover geography, politics, economy, social evolution and American wars, both foreign and domestic. They elucidate matters such as the pro-and anti-slavery sentiment in the states and territories before the Civil War, or how the nation voted in every election since 1800, or the shifting patterns of immigration and internal migration and much more. Accompanying the maps is a book-length text which reconstructs the course of American national history from the Age of Exploration to the present. In addition, this atlas offers statistical tables, graphs and charts as well as many selected historical paintings, drawings and photographs, both black-and-white and color. The atlas also contains a cross-referenced index.
