Volume 2: Since 1865: Volume of ...Hollitz-Contending Voices: Biographical Explorations of the American Past

Each chapter in Contending Voices examines the lives of two individuals—some of them familiar historical figures and some of them lesser known—who took opposing positions on important issues in American history.

The biographies are followed by a set of 4–6 related primary sources, many in the individuals' own voices, a "Questions to Consider" section, and an annotated bibliography.
