United States History, 1490--1864, Dr. Miguda

An edited collection of primary source documents and essays that explores the forced relocation of the Cherokee people during the 1830s. Edited by Louis Filler and Allen Guttmann, the book presents differing perspectives on the event, leaving the central question of "manifest destiny or national dishonor?" open for interpretation. Each primary source has an introductory section supplied by the editors to provide additional context.

Built on principles of inclusivity and accessibility, this anthology presents essential primary sources from the period, covering the seeds of the manifest destiny ideology to the nation's imperial ambitions. It emphasizes often-marginalized voices, including women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans.
