"Since the Civil War" by Charles Ramsdell Lingley offers a comprehensive historical survey of the United States from the conclusion of the conflict in 1865 through the early decades of the 20th century. This scholarly yet accessible work explores the complex period of Reconstruction, the rapid industrialization of the Gilded Age, and the transformative reforms of the Progressive Era. Lingley examines the political, social, and economic forces that reshaped the nation as it transitioned from a fractured collection of states into a burgeoning global power.
The narrative traces key developments such as the rise of large-scale industry, the evolution of organized labor, and the shifting dynamics of American foreign policy leading up to and following the First World War. Through a meticulous analysis of presidential administrations, legislative milestones, and significant cultural shifts, the author provides a clear-eyed look at the challenges and triumphs of a reunified America. This volume serves as an essential resource for understanding the foundations of modern American society, capturing the spirit of an era defined by expansion, innovation, and intense internal debate. "Since the Civil War" remains a valuable contribution to American historiography, providing readers with a detailed roadmap of the pivotal events that forged the contemporary United States.
