SEC: US History between revolution and civil war

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

As our AP History students come in to do research on their first semester
papers (up through 1899), I have gotten a closer look at our history section
and have noticed major gaps.  We seem to have tons of material on colonial
life, the Revolutionary War period and then practically nothing till the
Civil War period, with the exception of the War of 1812.

Can anyone recommend books that you have found useful:
a) particular titles or a series of non-reference books which covers this
time period (early 1800s to 1865)
b)reference books covering this time frame
and/or
c)a publisher which publishes books for this time frame in US history

Thanks!
