The second volume of the Core Knowledge History of the United States ebook begins by asking young scholars to consider the impact immigration, industrialization, and urbanization had on the United States in the late 1800s. The text ends by challenging learners to consider what they believe will be the biggest challenges facing the nation in the future. Each of the 8 chapters in the 212-page text begins with this big question that focuses the reader's attention. "Think Twice," boxes ask readers to reflect on and draw inferences from their readings. The "Find the facts" boxes provide suggestions for more in-depth research, while the "Writers' Corner" boxes suggest topics for journals or essays.
