Since than it has served both general readers and student alike. Our aim remains to recount the state's history from its origins to the present, a balanced and enjoyable interpretation without burdensome detail. A history of this remarkable state must first do justice to its beginnings and then to the long years of Spanish colonialism and the Mexican era. Each shaped both past and present. It should also consider those dramatic changes that began after the American conquest. Furthermore, such a book needs to focus upon the implications of the recent population explosion, as well as give increased attention to economic and cultural developments.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49596532195601,"sku":"GOR012381646","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365476471057,"sku":"CIN0882959549G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0882959549.jpg?v=1751044786"},{"product_id":"california-book-andrew-rolle-9780882952567","title":"California","description":"Like its predecessors, this seventh edition of a best-loved publication recounts California's history from its origin to the present in a format that is engaging and informative.

But, doomed to defeat by the internal crisis in Mexico and by the Southerners' failure to face reality, the Confederate colonies were established and destroyed within two years' time. Later, many of the colonists who survived the ordeal tried to forget that they had ever gone into exile.  Among the emigrants were many prominent Southern leaders, barred from holding public office and, in some cases, facing possible arrest: General Jo Shelby, the hero of the Confederacy, who later became so reconciled to the victory of the North that he voted for a Republican; Commodore Matthew Maury, internationally recognized oceanographer and naval astronomer, who was welcomed to Mexico by Maximilian himself; Henry Watkins Allen, \"\"the single great administrator produced by the Confederacy,\"\" who founded the English language Mexican Times; and Thomas Caute Reynolds, former lieutenant governor of Missouri, who encouraged Maximilian to stay in Mexico but who himself left. In all there may have been between eight and ten thousand Confederates in Mexico.  The exodus, exile, and repatriation of the Confederates constitute a hitherto incompletely known incident in American history. In this fully documented account, Andrew F. Rolle reveals the hope, humor, disappointment, and defeat of Americans who believed that the only way to save their way of life was to leave their homeland.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50300344434961,"sku":"CIN0806119616VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50972354511121,"sku":"CIN0806119616G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51228486435089,"sku":"GOR009352889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52353374322961,"sku":"NLS9780806119618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0806119616.jpg?v=1767349165"},{"product_id":"the-italian-americans-troubled-roots-book-andrew-rolle-9780029268605","title":"The Italian Americans: Troubled Roots","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50342381715729,"sku":"CIN0029268605G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50342387876113,"sku":"CIN0029268605A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0029268605.jpg?v=1750811545"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-andrew-rolle.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
