Jeffrey's book, The Great Silent Army of Abolitionism, was awarded the Choice Award for Academic Book of Excellence and honorable mention for the Frederick Douglass Prize, given by the Gilder Lehrman Center of Yale University. Jeffrey is co-author and co-editor of the widely used textbook on American History, The American People:  The History of a Nation and a Society, which she has actively revised since the 1980s.
