The America’s History, Concise Edition (10th Edition) by Rebecca Edwards, Eric Hinderaker, Robert O. Self, and James A. Henretta provides a comprehensive chronological overview of United States history. It focuses heavily on political turning points, economic history, capitalism, and social development. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The book is structured into major chronological parts spanning from pre-Columbian times to the modern era. [1]

- British North America and the Atlantic World (1607–1763): Covers the growth and diversity of the original colonies, the developing transatlantic trade network (the Atlantic World), New England freehold societies, and the social/spiritual shifts of the early 18th century. [1, 2]
