1789 : The Threshold Of The Modern Age

  • 1789 : The Threshold Of The Modern Age

  • Attribution

    David Andress

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st American ed, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009

  • Description

    A year of revolution was crowned in two documents drafted at almost the same time: the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the American Bill of Rights. But as the French Revolution spiraled into chaos and slavery experienced a rebirth in America, it seemed that the budding code of individual rights would forever be matched by equally powerful systems of repression and control.

Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation

  • Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation

  • Attribution

    Cokie Roberts

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, William Morrow, 2004

  • Description

    Drawing upon personal correspondence, private journals, and even favored recipes, Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials and extraordinary triumphs of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Deborah Read Franklin, Eliza Pinckney, Catherine Littlefield Green, Esther DeBerdt Reed, and Martha Washington — proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might never have survived. Roberts proves beyond a doubt that like every generation of American women that has followed, the founding mothers used the unique gifts of their gender — courage, pluck, sadness, joy, energy, grace, sensitivity, and humor — to do what women do best, put one foot in front of the other in remarkable circumstances and carry on.

A Leap In The Dark : The Struggle To Create The American Republic

  • A Leap In The Dark : The Struggle To Create The American Republic

  • Attribution

    John Ferling

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2003

  • Description

    Here is all the erratic brilliance of Hamilton and Jefferson battling to shape the new nation, and here too is the passion and political shrewdness of revolutionaries, such as Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry, and their Loyalist counterparts, Joseph Galloway and Thomas Hutchinson. Here as well are activists who are not so well known today, men like Abraham Yates, who battled for democratic change, and Theodore Sedgwick, who fought to preserve the political and social system of the colonial past. Ferling shows that throughout this period the epic political battles often resembled today’s politics and the politicians–the founders–played a political hardball attendant with enmities, selfish motivations, and bitterness.

Founding Brothers : The Revolutionary Generation

  • Founding Brothers : The Revolutionary Generation

  • Attribution

    by Joseph J. Ellis

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2000

  • Description

    An illuminating study of the intertwined lives of the founders of the American republic–John Adams, Aaron Burr, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. In a lively and engaging narrative, Ellis recounts the sometimes collaborative, sometimes archly antagonistic interactions between these men, and shows us the private characters behind the public personas: Adams, the ever-combative iconoclast, whose closest political collaborator was his wife, Abigail; Ellis argues that the checks and balances that permitted the infant American republic to endure were not primarily legal, constitutional, or institutional, but intensely personal, rooted in the dynamic interaction of leaders with quite different visions and values.
