内容説明
Americans who lived between the Revolution and Civil War felt the brunt of resounding and sometimes frightening changes, which together eventually influenced the political culture of early America. In this study, the author examines the rise and triumph of liberal individualism in America and explores its impact on political culture. Taking Bennington, Vermont and its environs as a case study, the author untangles the clash among three competing elements in the community - the egalitarian communalism of the Strict Congregationalists; the democratic individualism of the revolutionary Green Mountain Boys; and the hierarchical authority of the community's Federalist gentlemen of property and standing. None of these players anticipated the emergence of democratic liberalism. Shalhope writes of class tension, economic competition, and religious differences - and ultimately of cultural conflict and political partisanship - and uses individual life experiences to emphasize the significance of seemingly small, personal decisions. Shalhope thus demonstrates how the private lives of ordinary people played a role in the settlement of public issues.
