序言
本书的目的在于用简明的方式讲述美国的建立与发展。学习自己国家的历史是一件非常严肃的事,这种学习需要教材编撰者、教师和学生的认真参与,其研究范围远远超出语言和数学。然而,我不打算将这本教材写成故事书,显然,它纯粹是一本教材,应该被当作教材使用,供学生勤奋学习,并有待于教师对之做出细致阐发。
大部分使用本书的学生将不再有其他机会学习本国的创立和历史,人们非常希望学生将时间用于学习真正的美国历史,而不是用于背诵大量轶事,因为这些轶事常常无足轻重,并且常常是基于一些不可靠的资料。而本教材的作者大胆地略去了一些传统的、一般被认为是给教材以生气的东西,以图激发学生“对历史的热爱”,这种爱常常意味着一种对愉悦状态的喜爱。例如,在一般历史书都介绍约翰·史密斯船长的冒险和解释美洲印第安人习俗,本书则代之以介绍宪法的形成和对奴隶制扩张的反抗。可以查到的1760 年之前的资料非常有限,这使得有必要略去“殖民生活”部分,因为不可能给它以简明扼要而又准确的介绍,学生可以在其他书中很容易地找到与其学习专题相关的内容,如希金森的《写给年轻人的历史》(Young Folks’ History)、艾格里斯通的《美国及其人民》(United States and its People)、麦克马斯特的《学校历史》(School History),等。本书旁注中列出了这些参考书及另外一些著作,这些引用还给出了一些更容易获得的资料,这些资料仅仅是用于说明。
许多学校一般都安排两年的时间来学习美国历史,并将第一年的时间用于学习1760 年之前的美国史,这种安排非常糟糕。首先,它过于强调殖民时期;其次,由于许多学生一年后辍学,他们再也没有机会学习1760 年之后的美国史;第三,这种编排使得完成学业的学生不能对美国这个民族的发展有一个理智的观瞻;最后,第二学年的大部分时间被用于学习革命战争和统一战争。好的编排应该是这样的:第一年通过某种平行阅读对全书有个通览,第二年复习并深入学习一些重要事件,如宪法的制定、殖民地中的自由之战、南北战争。第二年还可以着重学习1790 年之后的工业历史以及政府的组建。作者非常希望教师把前面的几章当作引言。
安妮·布里斯·查普曼是一所文法学校久负盛名的历史教师,她向本书提出一些建设性问题,并且向教师们提出许多好的建议,这些都支持了本书的阶段性编写。作者本人提出一些问题,给出自己的一些提示,还对查普曼老师的问题做出部分改动。对于这一部分的赞赏都应归功于查普曼老师。还应感谢布拉·玛丽·迪克斯女士就语言及行文给出许多好的建议。作者诚挚地欢迎提出批评和建议,特别是欢迎来自老师们的批评和建议,并非常欢迎指出错误之处。

The aim of this little book is to tell in a simple and concise form the story of the founding and development of the United States. The study of the history of one’s own country is a serious matter, and should be entered upon by the text-book writer, by the teacher, and by the pupil in a serious spirit,even to a greater extent than the study of language or of arithmetic. No effort has been made, therefore, to make out of this text-book a story book. It is a text-book pure and simple, and should be used as a text-book, to be studied diligently by the pupil and expounded carefully by the teacher.
Most of the pupils who use this book will never have another opportunity to study the history and institutions of their own country. It is highly desirable that they should use their time in studying the real history of the United States and not in learning by heart a mass of anecdotes,—often of very slight importance, and more often based on very insecure foundations. The author of this text-book, therefore, has boldly ventured to omit most of the traditional matter which is usually supposed to give life to a text-book and to inspire a“ love of history”,—which too often means only a love of being amused. For instance, descriptions of the formation of the Constitution and of the struggle over the extension of slavery here occupy the space usually given to the adventures of Captain John Smith and to accounts of the institutions of the Red Men. The small number of pages available for the period before 1760 has necessitated the omission of“ pictures of colonial life,” which cannot be briefly and at the same time accurately described. These and similar matters can easily be studied by the pupils in their topical work in such books as Higginson’s Young Folks’ History, Eggleston’s United States and its People,and McMaster’s School History. References to these books and to a limited number of other works have been given in the margins of this text-book.These citations also mention a few of the more accessible sources, which should be used solely for purposes of illustration.
It is the custom in many schools to spread the study of American history over two years, and to devote the first year to a detailed study of the period before 1760. This is a very bad arrangement. In the first place, it gives an undue emphasis to the colonial period; in the second place, as many pupils never return to school, they never have an opportunity to study the later period at all; in the third place, it prevents those pupils who complete this study from gaining an intelligent view of the development of the American people. And, finally, most of the time the second year is spent in the study of the Revolutionary War and of the War for the Union. A better way would be to go over the whole book the first year with some parallel reading, and the second year to review the book and study with greater care important episodes, as the making of the Constitution, the struggle for freedom in the territories, and the War for the Union. Attention may also be given the second year to a study of industrial history since 1790 and to the elements of civil government. It is the author’s earnest hope that teachers will regard the early
chapters as introductory.
Miss Annie Bliss Chapman, for many years a successful teacher of history in grammar schools, has kindly provided a limited number of suggestive
questions, and has also made many excellent suggestions to teachers. These are all appended to the several divisions of the work. The author has added a few questions and a few suggestions of his own. He has also altered some of Miss Chapman’s questions. Whatever there is commendable in this apparatus should be credited to Miss Chapman. Acknowledgments are also due to Miss Beulah Marie Dix for very many admirable suggestions as to language and form. The author will cordially welcome criticisms and suggestions from any one, especially from teachers, and will be very glad to receive notice of any errors.
