The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners two New York Times bestsellers and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now in the newest volume in the series one of America s most esteemed historians Gordon S. Wood offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life–in politics society economy and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe but instead the country became involved in Europe s wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still with a new generation emerging by 1815 most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Named a New York Times Notable Book Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation.
