Before Manifest Destiny
Three Consuls
For two generations after independence, Americans viewed the Mediterranean as the new commercial frontier. From common sailors to wealthy merchants, hundreds of Americans flocked to live and work there. Documenting the eventful lives of three American consuls and their families at the ports of Tangier, Livorno, and Alicante, Lawrence A. Peskin portrays the rise and fall of America's Mediterranean community from 1776 to 1840. We learn how three or…

Commons Democracy
In this compelling study Dana D. Nelson uses well-known early national literary works to interrogate a strain of popular democracy that persisted in tension with the official representative democracy of the new Republic. “Commons” or “vernacular” democracy was “robustly participatory, insistently local, roughly equalitarian, and grounded in varieties of exclusion” (p. 10). By contrast, the liberal democracy created by the Constitution “channeled …

Was Jefferson's Haitian Policy Racist
Arthur Scherr has ferreted out seemingly every reference to Jefferson's policy in Haiti in American state papers (published and unpublished), the Jefferson Papers, papers of other leading political figures, and other sources. Unfortunately, much of his good work is marred by repetition and tendentiousness. Scherr's evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Jefferson's policy was based primarily on geostrategy and the domestic conflict between angloph…
Conspiratorial Anglophobia and the War of 1812
Shortly before the outbreak of the War of 1812, a Washingtonian warned that an “old grey-headed veteran” and former aid to the governor of British Canada was spying in the U.S. House of Representatives. “Congress are beset, I have no doubt, with a system of espionage co-extensive with British depravity,” wrote the Washingtonian, hinting at imminent attack from Canada, where the British were building gunboats and allegedly organizing the Native Am…

How the Republicans Learned to Love Manufacturing
In 1809 Adam Seybert made an odd request. Speaking on floor of House of Representatives, Republican congressman from Pennsylvania asked that Alexander Hamilton's famed Report on Manufactures be reprinted for Congress. Hamilton's report, which had been tabled by House eighteen years earlier, was, according Seybert, document which contained much important matter, and did honor its author. Seybert added that it could serve as the basis on which an i…
