"The American Nation: Primary Sources "resumes the narrative begun
in its companion volume, "The American Republic" which covered the
first eight decades of U.S. history, ending at the onset of the
Civil War. "The American Nation" continues the story through
America's entrance into World War II.
"The American Nation" makes available, in one volume, many of the
most crucial documents necessary for understanding the variety of
policies and viewpoints driving American public life during an
important, substantive part of American history. The primary
sources in "The American Nation" are relevant to the Civil War,
Reconstruction, the rise of a national capitalist system and
culture, the waves of reform-minded thought and policy that moved
the nation toward formation of the national administrative and
welfare states, and America's emergence as a major power on the
world stage. This period was a watershed in the history of the
nation--the time of establishing and consolidating national power
and laying the foundations of a national government committed to
promoting the material well-being of Americans. It was an era that
witnessed the development of the nation-state and the establishment
of the New Deal regime, which set the stage for the radical social
movements of the 1960s and beyond.
For decades debates have raged concerning the nature and impact of
post-Civil War Reconstruction, as well as the major popular legal
and ideological movements shaping the United States during the
period up to World War II. This critical era encompassed the rise
of mass-market corporatism and America's entry into world politics.
Recent social history has uncovered a great deal of information
regarding the daily lives of Americans during this era. Of equal
importance is an in-depth study of the public documents critical
for an understanding of the effects of public acts and
pronouncements on Americans. This volume will allow students and
readers to readily engage, without interpretation, the original
historical documents that have shaped the history of American
public life.
Some of the primary documents include the Emancipation
Proclamation, the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, the Sherman Antitrust
Act, and the Monroe Doctrine. Some of the authors featured include
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jefferson Davis, Robert LaFollette,
Eugene Debs, Jane Addams, William Graham Sumner, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, and Booker T. Washington, among many others.
Bruce P. Frohnen is Associate Professor of Law at Ohio Northern
