Dartmouth and the World: Religion and Political Economy circa 1769 by Henry C. Clark
This volume originated in a 2019 conference to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of Dartmouth College. It aims to situate Dartmouth's emergence amid broader changes in religion, political economy, and enlightenment in the latter third of the eighteenth century. Each essay grapples with one or more of these broader themes. Only some, though, are fundamentally concerned with Dartmouth qua Dartmouth. The result is a volume in which t…

Degrees of Equality: Abolitionist Colleges and the Politics of Race by John Frederick Bell
Bell’s remarkable book examines racial politics at three “abolitionist colleges” that offered interracial education in the nineteenth century—Oberlin College, Berea College, and the short-lived New York Central College (1848–1860), which was the most radical of the group. These schools were among the institutions in the United States most committed to multiracial democracy. According to Bell, although the schools were run largely by white men, th…
Histories of Nineteenth-Century Education and the Civil War Era
This review essay analyzes the last generation of writing on nineteenth-century American education, focused on how it speaks to the broader literature on civil-war era debates over citizenship and rights. It begins by surveying new work on the origins of public schooling in the antebellum North, and on the regionally distinct and exclusive educational cultures of the antebellum South and West. It then discusses how this new literature on antebell…
The Long Year of Revolution
Building a Revolutionary State: The Legal Transformation of New York, 1776-1783
How does a revolutionary society turn popular upheaval into a stable legal regime? In a clear, pithy, and important book, Howard Pashman explains this transformation in revolutionary New York State. Paradoxically, New York's budding revolutionary state built its legal legitimacy by confiscating Loyalist property. Pashman develops this argument in a clear chronological arc running from the decline of colonial authority in 1775–1776 through British…
Colonial North American Project
When completed, the Harvard Colonial North American Project (cnap) will make digitally available some 450,000 images from over 1,600 collections across twelve repositories. So far the Harvard University library has posted about one-third of the eventual total, and it is clear that this project is a great gift to early American historians. Given the enormity of the collection, it defies easy description. Most notably, “colonial North American proj…
