American History-5 eBook Collection

This collection provides core information, historical influences and documents that led to the contributions of George Washington,John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as The Louisiana Purchase and Ft. Ticonderoga, the Gibralter of North America. George Washington was a unique figure in world life. Unique in the true and strict definition of the word: the one and only. Because of this historians and critics have struggled to place him because he stands alone in our history & the world. John Adams had a long and distinguished career, often seeming dim in the light of the surrounding Presidents, Washington and Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was another unique individual, with his contributions writing the Declaration of Independence, the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, as well as the Louisiana Purchase. All of these documents appear here. The Louisiana Purchase should receive more importance since it was the largest real estate deal in history, took Spain and France off American western boundaries, making the next step to the Pacific much more doable. Fort Ticonderoga in the 18th century stopped the British from taking most of America and later to protect Canada from America's interest in seizing it. Another underrated series of events highlighted in the Simply Collection.
