Download or read book In the Midst of Perpetual Fetes written by David Waldstreicher and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative study, David Waldstreicher investigates the importance of political festivals in the early American republic. Drawing on newspapers, broadsides, diaries, and letters, he shows how patriotic celebrations and their reproduction in a rapidly expanding print culture helped connect local politics to national identity. Waldstreicher reveals how Americans worked out their political differences in creating a festive calendar. Using the Fourth of July as a model, members of different political parties and social movements invented new holidays celebrating such events as the ratification of the Constitution, Washington's birthday, Jefferson's inauguration, and the end of the slave trade. They used these politicized rituals, he argues, to build constituencies and to make political arguments on a national scale. While these celebrations enabled nonvoters to participate intimately in the political process and helped dissenters forge effective means of protest, they had their limits as vehicles of democratization or modes of citizenship, Waldstreicher says. Exploring the interplay of region, race, class, and gender in the development of a national identity, he demonstrates that an acknowledgment of the diversity and conflict inherent in the process is crucial to any understanding of American politics and culture.
Download or read book Providence and the Invention of the United States 1607 1876 written by Nicholas Guyatt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-23 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Guyatt offers a completely new understanding of a central question in American history: how did Americans come to think that God favored the United States above other nations? Tracing the story of American providentialism, this book uncovers the British roots of American religious nationalism before the American Revolution and the extraordinary struggles of white Americans to reconcile their ideas of national mission with the racial diversity of the early republic. Making sense of previously diffuse debates on manifest destiny, millenarianism, and American mission, Providence and the Invention of the United States explains the origins and development of the idea that God has a special plan for America. This conviction supplied the United States with a powerful sense of national purpose, but it also prevented Americans from clearly understanding events and people that could not easily be fitted into the providential scheme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not only does this splendid book unearth much fresh material from so well tilled a field as Massachusetts political history. It also advances an important and provocative interpretation of the evolution of the American party system."--The Journal of American History. "Supersedes everything else written on the Massachusetts politics of the half-century after 1790. It is broadly conceived, detailed, sensitive, and often judicious and persuasive."--The New England Quarterly. Focusing on the gradual acceptance of parties by a fundamentally antipartisan society, and on the advent of social movements inthe 1820s and 1830 and their relation to the formation of mass parties, Formisano demonstrates the role of such factors as class, industrialization, religion, and ideology in party formation.
