Winner of the Book Prize for New Authors from the National
Historical Society The War of 1812 played a critical role in the
emergence of an American "culture of capitalism." In The Republic
Reborn Steven Watts offers a brilliant new interpretation of the
war and the foundation of liberal America. He explores the sweeping
changes that took place in America between 1790 and 1820-the growth
of an entrepreneurial economy of competition, the devlopment of a
liberal political structure and ideology, and the rise of a
bourgeois culture of self-interest and self-control. "Serving as a
vehicle for change and offering an outlet for the anxieties of a
changing socity," Watts writes, the War of 1812 "ultimately
intensified and sanctioned the imperatives of a developing
world-view."
