Fact and Fiction of American Colonization
In the years following Christopher Columbus's expedition, Europeans made homes for themselves in the Americas and pushed out the indigenous peoples already living there. Many popular stories about life in the early American colonies have gotten some facts wrong and left out others altogether. Fact and Fiction of American Colonization dives into the myths about colonization and brings the truth to light. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
