Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text traces Thomas Jefferson's vision of America's future to its roots in his notions of nationhood and empire. It shows that his egalitarianism yields interpretations of America's national identity, ideas of race, westward expansion, Civil War, and US global dominance in the 20th century.
