Many people think of New Orleans when they hear the name "Louisiana." Beyond that well-known and vibrant city, Louisiana has much else to offer. In fact, important historical events in the state have shaped the whole nation, including the state's response to environmental disasters and activists' civil rights victories. This book puts historical and current events in context. It also presents a comprehensive look at the economy, geography, people, and government of the Pelican State.

Introduce your young learners to the North Carolina's history, going back to the pre-European era; moving through early colonialism, agrarian society, the Civil War, industrialization, and the civil rights movement; and ending with the current events that shape the state today. Over the course of five chapters, readers encounter the geography, history, people, economy, and government of the Tar Heel State. African American and Native American histories and contributions are explored.
