Morrison"ReviewsDrawing together a dream team of historians - a mix of rising stars and established luminaries - these essays masterfully synthesize recent work on the early American Republic, offering a fresh portrait of a nation riven by discord and violence and yet, perhaps for that very reason, hanging together nonetheless. This volume will be an indispensable resource for historians in the field.- Francois Furstenberg, author of In the Name of the Father: Washington's Legacy, Slavery, and the Making of a Nation The essays in this excellent volume both summarize the state of the field and push it toward a new bigger picture, one that pays moreã attention to war,ã to the state, toã land, to slavery, and to Native Americans. Editor Shankman's introduction is a tour de force. Anthologies don't get more useful than this. - David Waldstreicher, author of Slavery's Constitution: From Revolution to Ratification This volume boldly recasts the period between the Revolution and the Civil War as a coherent whole-a First American Republic unfolding on a continental scale and marked by competing sovereignties, rival political economies, and endemic violence. Featuring established and up-and-coming scholars, The World of the Revolutionary American Republic sets a new agenda for U.S. history.- Seth Rockman, author of Scraping By: Wage Labor, Slavery, and Survival in Early Baltimore In this delightfully overstuffed volume, nineteen of the brightest historians working today sometimes jostle, more often agree, and nearly always surprise as they expose the political, economic, and racial dynamics of the first American republic. There is no better introduction to current scholarship on U.S. history between the Revolution and the Civil War.- Daniel K. Richter, author of Before the Revolution: America's Ancient Pasts Drawing together a dream team of historians - a mix of rising stars and established luminaries - these essays masterfully synthesize recent work on the early American Republic, offering a fresh portrait of a nation riven by discord and violence and yet, perhaps for that very reason, hanging together nonetheless.
