Summary note

"This treatment of Midwestern history precedes similar volumes about the American South and West and marks a major turn toward taking seriously the history of the American interior. The handbook includes chapters ranging from the early Native American and French Midwest; the impact of the Northwest Ordinance, the Civil War, and urbanization; the role of religion, the Great Lakes, and organized labor; the presence of a diverse population of Germans, Irish, Dutch, and Latinos; the origins of the term "Midwest"; race relations, lynching, and African American activism; rural and civic life; and the influence of sports, nostalgia, populism, the Republican Party, and isolationism. In many ways, The Oxford Handbook of Midwestern History marks the coming of age of what scholars and commentators are calling the New Midwestern History"-- Provided by publisher.
