Spanning
the entire period from the voyages of Columbus through the bloody
Civil War, The Boisterous Sea of Liberty brings the
past to life in a way that few histories ever do. Here is a
panoramic look at American history, as captured in the words
of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Frederick
Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, and many other
historical figures, both famous and obscure.
Our
Teaching Guide shows how these thoroughly annotated documents
can be used in the classroom to teach students how to analyze
primary sources and to better understand the essential themes
of American history.
