A new feature essay in Chapter 16 addresses the short-lived order of “40 Acres and a Mule” for every freedman. A major new section in Chapter 19 describes the spread of Jim Crow in both the South and North after Reconstruction.

5. America: Past and Present (tenth edition) includes a new feature essay in Chapter 18 on the rise of the department store in the late nineteenth century and how this affected women and changed the way many Americans shopped.

6. A new feature essay in Chapter 32 discusses why global warming has become such a controversial issue in the United States and how Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth has affected this dispute.

7. Chapter 32 has also been updated to provide a full account of the election of 2008 and the Obama administration through 2011.

America: Past and Present (tenth edition) includes a new fea- ture essay in Chapter 18 on the rise of the department store in the late nineteenth century and how this aff ected women and changed the way many Americans shopped.

A new feature essay in Chapter 32 discusses why global warming has become such a controversial issue in the United States and how Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth has aff ected this dispute.

Chapter 32 has also been updated to provide a full account of the election of 2008 and the Obama administration through 2011.
