Summary

In "The Early Beginnings of USA," Carl Lotus Becker offers a meticulously researched account of the formative years of the United States, examining the complex interplay of social, political, and cultural factors that contributed to the nation'Äôs foundation. With a narrative style that balances scholarly rigor and accessible prose, Becker weaves together primary sources and historical narratives, situating America'Äôs early development within the broader context of global events and Enlightenment ideals. His exploration provides fresh insights into pivotal moments and lesser-known circumstances that shaped the initial contours of American identity and governance. Carl Lotus Becker, a prominent American historian of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by the currents of intellectual thought and progressive scholarship of his time. His experiences as an educator and his commitment to unveiling underrepresented historical perspectives fueled his passionate inquiry into early American history. The insights shared in this text reflect Becker'Äôs belief in history as a dynamic narrative that is continuously shaped by contemporary understandings and inquiries. "The Early Beginnings of USA" stands as an essential resource for scholars, students, and those intrigued by America'Äôs origins. Becker'Äôs compelling synthesis of historical events and demographic shifts invites readers to rethink preconceived notions about the nation'Äôs early years, making it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of America'Äôs foundation.

    Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
     
     
     
    The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
    as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
     
     
     
    For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.
