In an overview of the history of the US, combining cultural & political perspectives, events surrounding the founding of the US are recounted first, with a digression on Alexis de Tocqueville's perception of the then uniquely American institution of social equality. Then the industrial growth & political influence of the US in the nineteenth & early twentieth centuries are recorded. Finally, the US is discussed as a mature imperialistic power with a mission to dominate its weaker neighbors. 10 Tables. S. Karganovic.
