Gr 4-8 The intent of this series is to highlight the role that Hispanics have played in the shaping of America. However, with the focus so squarely put upon political events, other aspects of these cultures and influences feel ignored or, at best, like afterthoughts. Places, dates, and historical figures are recounted, with only occasional discussion of the overall impact of art, socio-economic conditions, or other aspects of life during these eras. Images are for the most part of adequate quality, though they add little to the text. Exceptions are the maps in New Spain , which are particularly helpful; those in the other titles (except Civil War , which has none) may prove difficult for students to use as they are old reproductions.
Bibliography Index/Note:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The New Republic is the story of how the United States won its freedom with Spain's help and how the new nation dealt with the growing Spanish colonies that bordered it. It is a story of gain and loss, struggle and compromise, that would eventually lead to the end of Spanish rule in the Americas and the emergence of a new Hispanic nation, Mexico. Book jacket.
