This work unified English history as no other had yet done. "What Macaulay had done for a period of history " English history," said his fellow historian Mandell Creighton, "Green did for it as a whole." Green's purpose was to show the development of history " English life by a fusion of history " constitutional, economic, literary, artistic, and social history—subjects that historians had formerly treated independently. He expanded this very successful work into History of history " the English People (1877-1880).During the 1920's, Hansen explored American and European archives, using previously untouched sources of history " statistics and ethnic history. His two major works, The Atlantic Migration, 1607-1860 (1940) and The Mingling of history " the Canadian and American Peoples (1940), were published posthumously. These and The Immigrant in American History (1940) remain landmarks of history " historical and stylistic lucidity. Attributing to foreign settlers the same virtue of history " individualistic enterprise that Turner ascribed to native pioneers, Hansen "ventured successfully," as the historian Carl Wittke said, "into what he called 'that dim continent of history " knowledge called social history.'
