Contending Voices examines the lives of two individuals who took opposing positions on important issues in American history. Chapters contain four main parts: a short biographical essay setting up the lives of the two people and introducing the conflict of the chapter; a set of 4-5 related primary sources, in the individuals' own voices; a Questions to Consider section; and an annotated bibliography. Highlights of this brand new text include: - Dramatic vignette opens each chapter's essay - setting the tone for the opposition between the central figures and the positions they each took - Biographical essays introduce the lives of the subjects, as well as the chapter's most important themes - A running glossary of important historical terms, events, and people appears in every chapter - Primary sources in every chapter allow students to trace the developments in and conflicts between the central figures' views - Concise, annotated bibliography at the end of each chapter
