The Roots of Democracy: American Thought and Culture, 1760-1800
Shalhope (history, University of Oklahoma) surveys the conflicts of the period, showing how colonists who thought they were building a culture comparable to England's found themselves caught up in revolution and how revolutionaries who cherished visions of republican stability were unable to stifle tendencies leading toward a democratic culture. In addition to political thought, he analyzes developments in law, religion, art, literature, and education, and asks how the revolutionary era affected women, Indians, artisans, and slaves. B&w historical illustrations are included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
