history, When America was Rocked holds less importance than any other day in the 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America. It is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. This chapter takes a look into the impact that Elvis Presley had on America and unifying it.

The day listed, September 9th, 1956 had little significance in the grand scheme of things. This one day, had it not happened, would not have changed much of history.

Every other day in the book has a huge significance compared to When America was Rocked. This student would have liked to see a different day used in the place of this one. In this student’s opinion it would have added a lot of value to the book had a day such as one of significance during the Civil War been a part of 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed
