American History, Volume 2, 2nd Edition: 1877 – Present

American History, Volume 2: 1877–Present delivers a sweeping, engaging account of the American story from Reconstruction to the complexities of the modern age. Revised and expanded, this second edition weaves vivid episodes―from the rise of industry and the Wright brothers to the civil rights movement, global conflict, COVID-19, and recent presidential elections―into a cohesive narrative. Drawing on his scholarly expertise and classroom experience, Thomas S. Kidd highlights both triumph and tragedy while keeping religion and faith central to the story.

With thoughtful attention to politics, culture, war, and entertainment, this volume equips students to wrestle honestly with the forces shaping contemporary American life.
