Provides 100 documents that were voted the most important in shaping America.
Editor's Note: Uses a traditional view of history. For example, in describing the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, it states "the United States purchased 828,000 square miles of land" from the French. Did the French really "own" the land or had they stolen it from the indigenous people who continued to occupy it? If the French did not own it, could they really sell it? 3-04
