 | | Special emphasis is given to certain critical periods and key developments: the founding of the English colonies, the colonies in the 18th century, the American Revolution, the Constitution, the Federal era, Jackson and "Jacksonian Democracy," slavery and expansion, re-union and reconstruction. |
