Clothed in Robes of Sovereignty
Author: Benjamin H. IrvinPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199314594
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Clothed in Robes of Sovereignty examines the material artifacts, festivities, and rituals by which Congress endeavored not only to assert its political legitimacy and to bolster the war effort, but ultimately to glorify the United States and to win the allegiance of the American people. But fact, as Benjamin H. Irvin demonstrates, the "people out of doors"--including the working poor, women, loyalists, Native Americans and others not represented in Congress--vigorously contested the trappings of nationhood into which Congress had enfolded them.
