Native Americans.

Combines paintings, maps, and text to portray Native Americans' early encounters with the European settlers who colonized the "New World," and describes the differences in farming, socialization, and values which often created friction.

Describes the anti-slavery movement in the United States from 1830 to 1865. Examines how the Underground Railroad was used to help slaves escape to the North and how the issue of slavery led to the Civil War. Discusses the roles of movement leaders such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
