  Carson's full-scale treatment of American history combines scholarly exactness with evocative passages that lead the listener to a clearer understanding of the people and events, the triumphs and the shortcomings, that have shaped this nation. 
  Carson begins this third volume by diagnosing the root causes that eventually gave rise to sectionalism: regional differences and changes, the election of 1824, the Adams administration, and the emergence of the two parties of American government. 
  The book goes on to discuss the meaning of Jacksonian Democracy; the removal of the Indians; the nullification and bank controversies; the plantation system; the Transcendentalists and the development of American literature; the public school movement; westward expansion; the election of Lincoln; and finally, the Civil War.

  Powder Alarm The: The History of...

  The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
  	This makes it all the more ironic that one of the most important events leading up to the American Revolution has been almost entirely forgotten today. One of the primary reasons the patriots acted the way they did on the night of April 18, 1775 is that New England was already in a heightened state of alertness due to the Powder Alarm of September 1, 1774. That day, British troops under the authority of General Thomas Gage, the royal governor of Massachusetts, quietly marched from Boston in an attempt to seize gunpowder stored in the provincial powder house at Charlestown. Gage considered this a necessary precaution amid rising unrest in the wake of the Boston Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts, which had already nearly left Boston in a state of rebellion. Gage aimed to prevent colonial militias from gaining access to military supplies, but the colonists considered the British action direct threat, indicating that the British aimed to disarm them ahead of a potentially more thorough military occupation. News of the seizure spread across the countryside, carried by riders and word of mouth, and in the process the implications of the Powder Alarm tended to grow more dramatic with every retelling.
