The latest version of this chapter (Dec. 2023) is mislabeled with incorrect Roman numerals for sections 10–13.
Right now, the progression appears as follows: “IX. The Pandemic | X. New Horizons | IX. Conclusion | X. Primary Sources | XI. Reference Material”
Sections “IX” and “X” are repeated.
Could one of the editors fix the numerals to reflect the correct (updated) section numbers?
You write
Two months later, he said, “America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration.”
Which sounds like it would be May 1921 (2 months after inauguration).
But as you saw in primary source section, this phrase dates from May 1920.
Native Americans have shown their diversity and strength to collaborate and build and maintain their way of life for over ten thousand years.Not only with life sustaining crops but with the adaptability in structuring dwellings for themselves,which I believe has followed thru to the ancestery of today’s society
The American Yawp seems to have had everything under control living a somewhat normal way of life until the arrival of the Europeans which brought violence and terror .
it is obvious the black freed slaves played a vital role for Grant’s victory
Native American slavery was not based on holding people as property. Slaves were treated as people who lacked kinship networks. Former slaves can come back to being part of a community. Very Interesting.
The first sentence of paragraph 10 is kind of an awkward sentence since it starts with debates and ends with debate. I think you could substitute conversations for the first “Debates”.
Conversations over the framer’s intentions often led to confusion and bitter debate…
Just a suggestion.
On this page it is displaying properly, but on the actual site there is a minor typo. Here is says, “When black Americans and their radical allies…”
On the site it says LACK instead of BLACK.
Very minor, just letting you know!

I am trying to take notes for testing/essay purposes and find some topics hard to follow. For me, I’m trying to put things in date perspective as the chapters seem to jump around. For example, one paragraph might refer to something in the 1500’s but it is hard to know if the next paragraph is in that same time or some other time. For us detailed folks, it would be nice to have date references more often or be assured that everthing listed between date references apply to the last stated time frame.
Thanks for your consideration.
I don’t see a place for American Yawp Reader problems so I’ll post this here.
The following seems to be titled wrong:
harriet-h-robinson-describes-a-mill-workers-strike-1863
The strike being referenced is from 1836. And the text was published in 1898. So unless we know that Robinson’s recollection dates to 1863, I’m thinking that the title just reversed the final two numbers in the date.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii hugs
