Built on principles of inclusivity and accessibility, this anthology presents essential primary sources from the period, covering the seeds of the manifest destiny ideology to the nation's imperial ambitions. It emphasizes often-marginalized voices, including women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans. Documents are abridged to remain brief and accessible to struggling/ESL readers, and activity questions range from basic to advanced.
Mode of access: World Wide Web.
