A text book that would put democracy into the study of history is "A History of the American People," by Charles A. Beard and William C. Bagley. Mass action, the collective force of the people as they made their impress upon civilization, takes the place of the shadowy record of mysterious personages far removed from the labor of masses. Motivating forces are analyzed and explained in their relation to the progress of the nation one reads much of conditions and influences which led to the colonization of the U.S. to the American revolution.
