From 1776 to 1800, the United States ceased to be a fantastic dream
and became a stable reality. Newspapers were increasingly the
public's major source of information about people and events
outside of their community. The press reflected the issues of the
day. Its foremost concern was naturally the armed struggle with
Britain. The press covered the conflict, providing both patriot and
loyalist interpretations of the battles and personalities. Yet
after the British withdrew, a host of new challenges confronted the
United States, including the Articles of Confederation, Shay's
Rebellion, the Bill of the Rights, the Whiskey Rebellion, slavery,
women's roles, the French Revolution, the XYZ Affair, the Sedition
Act, and more. Again, the press not only purveyed the facts. It
became a political tool trumpeting the viewpoint of Republicans and
Federalists, ushering in a new era of American journalism.
Beginning with an extensive overview essay of the period, this book
focuses on 26 pressing issues of the war and the early republic.
Each issue is presented with an introductory essay and multiple
primary documents from the newspapers of the day, which illustrate
both sides of the debate. This is a perfect resource for students
interested in the Revolutionary War, the birth of the new nation,
and the actual opinions and words of those involved.
