American history viewed from the thematic perspective of freedom
Known for his work on the intersection of intellectual, political and social history, renowned historian Eric Foner brings a crisp, compelling clarity to the study of American history. This 3rd Edition builds on the success of the first—maintaining its unifying theme of freedom, while expanding coverage of Native American and immigration history and providing new discussions of the global dimension of American history.
A strengthened pedagogy features expanded Voices of Freedom primary source excerpts — now with images —in each chapter, plus expanded chapter exercises, additional Key Terms, and new questions on the freedom theme. A new feature, “U.S. History Tours powered by Google Earth,”traces historical developments across time, touching down on locations vital to our nation's heritage and development. The text is backed by a robust print and electronic support package, including “Author Insights podcasts,” for an engaging classroom experience.
A single-author book offers students a consistently clear and accessible synthesis of American history
Eric Foner excels at showing students the big picture—how events and developments fit together like the pieces of a puzzle—without cluttering the account with excessive detail. The single authorship of Give Me Liberty! results in a coherent, streamlined, and engaging narrative.
The freedom theme
The primary task of the book is to deliver to students a clear, event-based narrative account of American history. The basic narrative is enriched throughout by the theme of American freedom—its changing meanings, its promise, its limits, and the continuing efforts of Americans to define it and achieve it.
