Ronald J. Pestritto's and Thomas G. West's earlier volume The
American Founding and the Social Compact addressed the nature of
the thought and philosophy of the men who shaped the American
founding. In this second volume in a trilogy, Pestritto and West
examine the fate of the founders' principles in the nine teeth
century, when these principles faced their first great challenges.
Support of slavery, culminating in secession and civil war, came
from the South; and after the war came positivism, relativism, and
radical egalitarianism, which originated in Europe and infiltrated
American universities, where intellectuals repudiated the founders'
views as historically obsolete and insufficiently concerned with
true human liberation. In ten chapters covering major thinkers in
nineteenth-century American political thought, contributors discuss
the rise and resolution of ideological conflicts in the early
generations of the American republic. In Challenges to the American
Founding Pestritto and West have compiled an invaluable resource
for the roots of the twentieth-century departure in American
politics from the political vision of the American founders.
