Unite or Die: How Thirteen States Became a Nation

In 1783 the American Revolution ended.
A new country was born!

But that new country took awhile to get on its feet. Squabbles among the states, a weak central government, and a fear of tyrannical leaders made the young democracy a complicated, divided mess. Could the United States of America survive?

With exuberant illustrations and an engaging style that is suitable for reader's theater, Unite or Die traces the challenges, conflicts, and compromises that shaped the living document we call the United States Constitution.
