America on the Brink: How the Political Struggle Over the War of 1812 Almost Destroyed the Young Republic
ISBN: 9781403973931 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many people would be surprised to learn that the struggle between Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party and Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Party defined--and jeopardized--the political life of the early American republic. America on the Brink looks at why the Federalists, who worked so hard to consolidate the federal government before 1800, went to great lengths to subvert it after Jefferson's election. In addition to taking the side of the British in the diplomatic dance before the war, the Federalists did everything they could to impede the prosecution of the war, even threatening...

The A to Z of the Early American Republic
ISBN: 9780810868403 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 458 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The formative period of the United States, running roughly from 1789 to 1829, has become remote and perhaps overly idealized. While the administrations of George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams set the country on the path to modernity by resolving some nagging problems left over from the Revolution, they failed to resolve many crucial issues, such as slavery, the treatment of Native Americans, and the consequences of industrial development. Despite many common goals, the gentry's leadership was riven by sectional friction, personal competition, and...

Original Discontents: Commentaries on the Creation of Connecticut's Constitution of 1818
ISBN: 9780615134376 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Old State House in Hartford, Connecticut, was the site of two key political conventions in the early nineteenth century. The legislatures of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island sent official delegations to the first "Hartford Convention" at the end of 1814, when the War of 1812 was going badly. This convention threatened to make a separate peace with Britain if certain amendments to the United States Constitution were not accepted, and fell into disgrace when the war came to an unexpectedly favorable conclusion. The second convention, in 1818, drafted a constitution that reformed...

In Irons: Britains Naval Supremacy and the American Revolutionary Economy
ISBN: 9780300204988 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A sailing ship that becomes stalled with its bow to the wind is said to be in irons. In this groundbreaking examination of America's Revolutionary War economy, the phrase is an apt metaphor for the inability of that economy to free itself from the constraints of Britain's navy. Richard Buel Jr. here investigates for the first time the influence of Britain's navy on the American revolutionary economy, particularly its agricultural sector, and the damage that Britain inflicted by seizing major colonial centers and denying Americans access to overseas markets. Drawing on documents newly culled...

Historical Dictionary of the Early American Republic
ISBN: 9781442262980 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The drafting and ratification of the federal constitution between 1787 and 1788 capped almost 30 years of revolutionary turmoil and warfare. The supporters of the new constitution, known at the time as Federalists, looked to the new national government to secure the achievements of the Revolution. But they shared the same doubts that the Anti-federalists had voiced about whether the republican form of government could be made to work on a continental scale. Nor was it a foregone conclusion that the new government would succeed in overcoming parochial interests to weld the separate states into...
