Expansion and Conflict
Expansion and Conflict, published in 1915 by William E. Dodd, professor of American history at the University of Chicago and later ambassador to Germany, covers the United States from the rise of Andrew Jackson to the end of the Civil War. Dodd argues that the country did not become a true nation until 1865, and that sectional advantage drove politics at every crisis. He follows the West and the East, the Jacksonian triumph, the militant South, the Mexican War, the abolitionists, prosperity and American culture, Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, and the war that ended in the Confederacy's collapse. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
