Southern Crucible: The Making of an American Region, Combined Volume by William LinkMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Southern Crucible covers the complete history of the southern US from pre-Revolution time through the early 2000s. It is fairly detailed but does gloss over some events such as the Trail of Tears. This book mostly concentrates on the racial divide that has been ongoing in the south since its founding.
This book was used as a text for my History of the Southern United States college course. I thought was the perfect book for this course. Our instructor had us read the last chapter first, to discuss where we are today, then start from the beginning to see how the South has evolved over time.
