About this listen

American history is a living, breathing thing that is always evolving and growing, with new chapters taking shape as we speak.

Today, America is revered throughout the world as a global superpower, a model of democracy, and the kind of country that all nations should aspire to emulate. How did it get there? And how did it acquire this reputation?

Over the decades, millions of people have left their homelands to immigrate to America in search of the American dream. This is quite fitting given how the country came to be—13 misfit colonies that banded together to unite as one nation.

This audiobook delves into the most significant moments of America’s history, from the arrival of the first colonists all the way to the 21st century.

For those who are interested in learning about America, this is a great introductory audiobook. It should whet your appetite to learn more. This detailed guide is an easy-to-follow, concise audiobook providing a comprehensive understanding of America’s roots and how it came to be the superpower it is today.

In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:

  • The early explorers of the Americas.
  • The 13 Colonies and the difficulties the settlers faced.
  • The French and Indian War, starring a young George Washington.
  • The American Revolution and the causes behind it.
  • The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, two shining examples of democracy at work.
  • The Louisiana Purchase and how it helped shape the modern US
  • The California Gold Rush and its impact on US history.
  • The divisive Civil War and why it broke out.
  • The Reconstruction and how it influenced the lives of African Americans.
  • How World War I brought about the Roaring ‘20s.
  • The Great Depression and how it happened.

And much more!
