Produced by Curtis Weyant, M and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "History of the United States" by Charles A. Beard and Mary Ritter Beard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive and progressive approach to American history, highlighting the social, economic, and political aspects that shaped the nation. It sets itself apart from traditional narratives by omitting extensive accounts of exploration and battles, focusing instead on the development of American citizenship, culture, and governance. The opening of the book introduces the authors' perspective on American historical education, criticizing existing methods that often fail to impart a meaningful understanding of history to students. They propose a new approach that prioritizes topical discussions over mere narratives, emphasizing key themes and movements that have contributed to the country's identity. The initial chapters outline the conditions and motivations behind early colonization, including the roles of trading companies, religious congregations, and proprietary systems, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the diverse peoples and influences that molded the United States.
