Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced American History The three greatest achievements of the American people have been these: they have transformed a continent from a low condition of barbarism to a high state of civilization they have developed a commercial and industrial system of vast proportions; and they have evolved the greatest democracy the world has yet seen. In this text, therefore, it has been my aim to present fully and clearly these three aspects of our growth: to Show the forces of civilization pressing ever west ward upon the wilderness and extending the boundaries of the white man's domain; to Show an industrious and ingenious people moving ever forward to make new conquests in the economic world; and to show a liberty-loving nation struggling with new problems of government and advancing ever nearer to a complete realization of popular rule.
