ISBN: 9781604133547 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The end of the Civil War brought significant change to the United States.

But just as Reconstruction and its aftermath ultimately failed to lift newly freed blacks out from under white racism, so the settling of the West left thousands of Indians dispossessed and defeated. The New...
