America: A Concise History, Volume 2: Since 1865 Reviews
-
This is more a quick survey of important events and conditions from the period of reconstruction to modern day. It is immensely readable for those who enjoy history; I think this judgment of readability will hold up even for those who may not enjoy reading and pondering history quite so much.
An interesting assertation about judical restrait- when the Supreme Court, prior to Franklin D. Roosevelt, was consistently supporting the rights of business over the rights of the public, Liberals were supportive of "judicial restraint" and States' Rights and the Conservatives were gung ho for interventionist rulings. My how times have changed. -
Issued for my History 102 class.
