The Chinese / English bilingual edition of the history series How America Became America added authentic Chinese translation to the succinct and compelling original text in English. Also a great language learning tool to help children learn either Chinese or English by studying the American history. The 13-book series introduced how the birth and growth of the United States was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. The 2nd book described the people who lived in the Southern colonies as successful and prosperous Americans, with an identity of their own. They helped shape America into the country it is today.
