Chesterton, writes an Englishman’s history of the United States from the first colonies through the Revolution, the Constitution, Jackson, slavery, John Brown’s raid, the Civil War, Reconstruction and the growth of a great power. He wrote with warm sympathy for American democracy, and the book was published soon after his death in 1918.
