Book Description
“Makes the case for 1816 as an important year in the development of the American nation. Well-written and -researched . . . recommended.”—Library Journal The year 1816 found America on the cusp of political, social, cultural, and economic modernity. Celebrating its fortieth year of independence, the country’s sense of self was maturing. Americans, who had emerged from the War of 1812 with their political systems intact, embraced new opportunities. For the first time, citizens viewed themselves not as members of a loose coalition of states but as part of a larger union. This optimism was colored, however, by bizarre weather. Periods of extreme cold and severe drought swept the northern states and the upper south throughout 1816, which was sometimes referred to as “The Year Without a Summer.” In 1816 , historian C. Edward Skeen illuminates this unique year of national transition. Politically, the “era of good feelings” allowed Congress to devise programs that fostered prosperity. Social reform movements flourished. This election year found the Federalist party in its death throes, seeking cooperation with the nationalistic forces of the Republican party. Movement west, maturation of political parties, and increasingly contentious debates over slavery characterized this pivotal year. 1816 marked a watershed in American history. This provocative book vividly highlights the stresses that threatened to pull the nation apart and the bonds that ultimately held it together. “Reveals a sense of the fragility of the American experiment.” —Boston Globe “Skeen narrates the major events of [the era’s] opening 12 months with great skill . . . with clarity and verve.” —Publisher’s Weekly “A very impressive exposition of political culture in the early republic.” —Andrew Burstein, author of Jefferson’s Secrets
