"Anger: An American History" Rhetorical Precis

In Schiff's nonfiction Anger: An American History (Dec 18,2015), she emphasizes that America has grow in the industry and world wide but as it grew a lot of bad cam with it. The author first introduced America as a growing country and all the laws that helped shape America by describing the establishment of the country and listing acts and laws that were established; she then emphasized how the Quakers were compared to vicious animals with a direct comparison; and to conclude she identifies that there is no justification in how the homes of many people are being destroyed with and explanation on how holidays are not remembered as the day of a war but are enjoyed. Her purpose is to give the other side of a good story in order to show that there is two sides to the growth of America. She seems to have a liberal audience in mind because she took a general view of the both sides of the growth of America.
