Politics, Reform, and Expansion, 1890-1900

In this present volume, one of a long series of studies in American history, Professor Faulkner deals almost exclusively with the years 1890 to 1900. He discusses the politics of the decade; the economic history of the period; efforts to reform and improve many areas of the existing society; and explores the new burst of territorial expansion resulting in part from the Spanish-American War. “In this balanced and sensible book, Professor Faulkner treats the decade in its full variety.”—G.T.
