La recherche du bonheur dans la Virginie coloniale
The history of the British colony of Virginia began in the late sixteenth century with the dark unmitigated misfortune of Roanoke, and continued in the early seventeenth century with Jamestown, in a kind of Hobbesian state of nature. There the settlers suffered trials that denied the European immigrants’ expectations to reach the state of happiness. Little by little, while the Virginian colony organized into a coherent structure, as if it had ach…
Les Amérindiens comme acteurs du fédéralisme états-unien
This article deals with the role of the Native Americans as authors and actors of American federalism. It first questions the theory according to which the League of the Iroquois influenced the authors of the US Constitution and served as a model of democracy for the Young Republic. However, if Native Americans were not the “authors” of the American democracy, they were nevertheless “actors” in the establishment and consolidation of federal power…

Fédéralisme et fédérations dans les Amériques
Les deux termes apparemment conjoints de "fédéralisme" et "fédération" renvoient à l'une des distinctions majeures qu'il importe en premier de mettre en lumière : le "fédéralisme" est un concept politique, recouvrant une idéologie, une vision de la société politique aussi bien qu'une forme paradigmatique d'organisation politique. La fédération est cette forme même et peut être étudiée dans son fonctionnement, dans son objet, dans ses limites. Cet…

Joel Barlow, de Redding (1754) à Zarnowiec (1812)
This article belongs to the new field of biography as history. Far from restricting itself to the narrative account of Joel Barlow's life and works, it tries to capture the various facets of this man with all the contradictions which were inherent in his character and fate, and which he shared with his Enlightenment contemporaries. As happened with a large number of great political actors in the history of mankind, Barlow's background, as well as…

Nation et religion aux États Unis / Nation and Religion in the United States
The 1787 Constitution and its first amendment guarantee Church-State separation and freedom of conscience for the citizens. Nevertheless the United States is not "laic" in the French way. The frontier between religion and politics is not that impervious for since the XVIIIth century's national creation a civic religion that sacralizes the Nation (rather the state which warrants the Nation's perenniality) has been giving citizens a common faith, h…

Le Dakota du sud à la fin du XIXe siècle
This paper attempts to show how the settlement of the territory of Dakota, and, later on, the formation of South and North Dakota, were rooted in the spoliation by the Whites of lands which belonged to autochtonous peoples. By studying the dual process of land speculation and land dispossession in the history of Dakota, one should better understand how this region — once called « The Great American Desert » but which came to be known in the early…

Problèmes d'historiographie américaine
Parce qu'elle s'applique à une nation dont la genèse et le développement présentent tant de singularités, l'historiographie des États-Unis reste mal connue et mal comprise des Européens.On perçoit mal, par exemple, l'attitude de l'historien américain qui, depuis les grands engagements dans le ' progressisme ' au début du siècle, participe plus fréquemment et de manière plus consciente que son homologue européen aux préoccupations de son temps.
