About This Book

This volume traces the emergence of a united nation from disparate colonies by examining political, social, and economic forces that prompted separation from imperial control and the creation of federal institutions. It treats diplomatic and military contests insofar as they illuminate why particular aims prevailed, considers indigenous alliances and foreign assistance, and surveys constitutional debates, partisan struggles, and the expansion of popular government. Organized thematically with bibliographies, maps, and suggestions for readers and teachers, it emphasizes causes and institutional development rather than detailed battlefield movements.
