Created Equal: A History of the United States, Volume 2, 5th edition

Created Equal: A History of the United States examines American history through the lens of contested equality. The text frames the American experience as the stories of various groups of men and women, all “created equal” in their common humanity, claiming an American identity for themselves. Presenting rich analysis in a chronological framework, the authors examine the ongoing struggles over equal rights and the shifting boundaries of inclusion and acceptance that have characterized American history.

Updated with the latest data and statistics, the 5th Edition covers contemporary issues of inclusion such as marriage equality. Additionally, the authors have revised the text’s photographs, figures and maps to be more prominent, interesting and instructive.
