American History for Middle School -- Grades 6-8

The FIRST book in a two-volume narrative for Young Readers studying Land of Hope

From its beginnings America was a land of hope, a magnet for those seeking a new beginning for themselves. The American Founders created a unique plan of government designed to realize those ideals. Implementing the plan was not easy, though, and a bloody civil war would push the American experiment to the breaking point -- and to a new birth of freedom.
