Opis

This book traces how early Americans imagined what a 'nation' meant during the first fifty years of the country's existence.

Recenzje

'Great strides were made toward forging a new nation of united states, but regional perspectives also remained strong. Park uses three states (Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) to show the ways in which provincialism persisted in the early national era. Recommended for graduate students, faculty, and professionals.' E. Eslinger, Choice
