Becker is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the early history of the United States, specifically focusing on the development and unity of its diverse population and the complex forces that shaped the nation during its formative years. The opening of the text introduces the historical significance of European exploration, emphasizing the motivations behind the discovery of the New World, primarily driven by trade and conquest. Becker discusses how the quest for wealth and resources led to the influx of various European settlers to the Americas and examines the conflicts and cultural exchanges that arose during this period. By setting the stage for the discussion of cultural, social, and economic dynamics, Becker highlights the intricate relationships between different ethnic groups and their evolving roles in shaping the emerging American identity.
