The period from 1789 to 1849 is one of the most eventful in U.S.
history. It includes the growth of the United States from the first
Congress, through the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the
territorial expansion of the United States. Through nearly 4000
annotated entries, this bibliography provides references to New
England and New Englanders in U.S. government publications issued
during that period. It traces the origin of many of the social,
fiscal, and foreign policies that were instrumental in the
development of the country and whose consequences still affect us
today. It encompasses the development of the postal system and the
Treasury Department, the distribution of the public lands, the
exploration of the West, systems of defense and fortification,
boundary disputes, the annexation of Texas, and the origin of the
divisive differences between the South and North over tariffs and
slavery. During these first 30 congresses, the United States
government published and distributed a wealth of primary and
secondary source material documenting these historical events and
issues. Historians researching the history of New England and its
peoples can find a variety of information in these publications on
New England topics and concerns. Speeches from New England
Representatives and Senators also offer their views and the views
of their constituents on the regional and national issues of the
day. Included in this bibliography are references in published
government documents by and to the New England states, covering
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and
Vermont. Speeches by congressmen from these states, memorials and
petitions voicing the opinion of the people of these states, and
congressional and executive reports, documents, and references
specifically about the states and their concerns are cited. Each
citation is accompanied by a brief annotation. The volume has
chapters on each state, and within each chapter, the entries are
arranged chronologically by Congress and Session. Thus the reader
can browse through a chapter to get a sense of the issues facing a
state during the period, or can consult the extensive indexes to
locate specific information more precisely.
