 Volume Two: Originating American Ways of Living and Working |
|
| In Volume Two of America's History Retold, covering most of the XIX. century, the new industrial civilization takes the virgin continent in its vise. The sheer size of the space to be tamed and exploited propels the young nation to pinnacles of ingenuity and greed. Immense resources in humans and commodities, such as exist nowhere else and will never exist again, are thrown into production. While the autochtonous peoples are suppressed and exterminated, the descendants of the deported Africans struggle out of appalling conditions of slavery. Masses of hopeful humanity from the old continent are sucked into a dream of prosperity and of a decent life which will largely come true only for their descendants. While expanding gigantically, the Republic threatens to break apart and saves itself only by resorting to a grim, fratricide war, the first industrial war in history. A civilization emerges, in which man is no longer "the measure of all things."
