The Early Republic : Primary Documents on Events from 1799 to 1820 (Debating Historical Issues in the Media of the Time)
Editorial Reviews
Review
“For an excellent reference on early American history, Patricia L. Dooley's The Early Republic fits the bill for discriminating collections seeking primary documents on early American events.”–
Book Description
In the first two decades of the 19th century, the early American Republic emerged from under the shadow of the internal and external threats that had formerly plagued its progression towards independence, and with increased confidence in its capacity as a political institution and as a military power, began to consider the policies that would determine the country's course in the future. In determining these policies, whether military, economic, or political, no single institution was more instrumental than the press--the "engine" of the national consciousness, in the words of Thomas Jefferson. With this unique collection of primary documents, students, scholars, and other interested readers will be able to debate the issues central to this period.
