President Franklin Roosevelt told Americans in a 1936 fireside chat, "I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making." These United States builds on this foundation to present a readable, accessible history of the United States throughout the twentieth century-an ongoing and inspiring story of great leaders and everyday citizens marching, fighting, voting and legislating to make the nation's promise of democracy a reality for all Americans.
