5.0 out of 5 stars The Nitty Gritty of History 

By Peter Amschel

This set of several volumes of writings was included some years ago with my purchase for my boys of an Encyclopedia Brittanica set. Annals of America has collected plain english arguments which were being made at certain times over America's relatively short history for and against issues such as woman's suffrage, for one example, and before there was a change to a new status quo. It is cool to have the benefit of decades of hindsight on issues in which Americans were considering major social changes. This material provides an additional way of studying history and it provides a lot of practical wisdom, such as, for example, the writing by a New York City Tammany Hall politician where he shows us the importance politically for the administration to rush to the side of and to start providing assistance to a citizen who has suffered some calamity so as to get there ahead of the welfare department
