In the early years of the American Republic the political ideals of
the Revolution took definite form, and pervaded the daily lives of
Americans in multifarious ways, affirming and transforming the
country and its people in the process. In this informative and
eminently readable resource, award-winning authors David and Jeanne
Heidler discuss the people who lived during this critical time, and
uncover the essential and unexpected realities of ordinary life in
the early American republic. Rapid developments in agriculture,
encouraged by a strong sense of dignity in work and a bold new
spirit of ingenuity sharply reduced the percentage of people who
made their living in the fields; the tone of religious tolerance
taken up by the founders manifested itself in a fervent yet
incredibly diverse spiritual community; workingmen and educated
citizens alike attended intellectual lectures together in an effort
to become responsible and informed citizens; and the family dynamic
underwent a profound transformation, especially as it involved
children, at the hands of a new democratic idealism. In this
informative and eminently readable resource, award-winning authors
David and Jeanne Heidler discuss the people who lived during this
critical time, and uncover the essential and unexpected realities
of ordinary life in the early American republic. Included are
sections on agriculture; rituals of life, love, and death;
employment and the economy; leisure; religion; life beyond the
mainstream; and life in the military. This volume is ideal for high
school and college students, as well as anyone interested in
examining the prosaic realities underpinning the lives of the
people of the time. A chronology of the time period, maps,
illustrations, a bibliography and an index are also included.
