It explains: How representatives of merchant, banking, and industrial capital organized the brutal extermination of Native Americans as their system of exploitation and oppression expanded across North America. How an alliance of farmers, Northern merchants, Southern planters, and urban plebeians crushed the rule of the British Crown and its favored propertied backers. How a second revolution, the Civil War, was needed to overthrow the slavocracy in the South and how a counterrevolution defeating Radical Reconstruction was necessary to consolidate capitalist rule and its system of wage-labor and rents and mortgages. How capitalism's development into an imperialist world by the opening years of the twentieth century produced the insoluble contradictions that make inevitable the transformation of society into one ruled by the majority, the toiling producers."--Publisher.
