DeWitt Clinton was one of the nation's leading political figures in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, serving as mayor of New York City, governor of the state, and narrowly losing the Presidential campaign of 1812 to James Madison. Patrician in sentiments, Clinton nevertheless invented new forms of party politics. His greatest achievement, the Erie Canal, hastened the economic expansion of the country, altered the political geography of the nation, set an example for activist government, and decisively secured New York City's position as the nation's metropolis. This book explores both the man and the critical economic, political, social and cultural changes in early nineteenth century America.
