States at War, Volume 4
Author: Richard F. Miller
Publisher: University Press of New England
ISBN: 1611686210
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 929
Book Description
While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War States and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This crucial reference book, the fourth in the States at War series, provides vital information on the organization, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey during the Civil War. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant-general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, federal and state executive speeches and proclamations, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use by professional historians and amateurs, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual stateÕs war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

National Duties
Author: Gautham Rao
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022636710X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This study of 19th century commerce and federal oversight “reveals the importance of customs houses in the creation of the federal government” (Choice). In the wake of the American Revolution, the young nation found itself victorious, liberated, and in millions of dollars of debt. To address this founding financial crisis, the nascent federal government devised a system of taxes on imported goods and installed custom houses at the nation’s ports to collect the fees. But, as the United States became dependent on this revenue, the import merchants gained outsized influence over the daily affairs of the custom houses. As the United States tried to police this commerce in the early nineteenth century, the merchants’ stranglehold on custom house governance proved to be formidable. In National Duties, Gautham Rao makes the case that the early development of the federal government and the modern American state lie in these conflicts at government custom houses—specifically in the period between the American Revolution and the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Rao argues that the contours of the government emerged from the push-and-pull between these groups, with commercial interests gradually losing power to the administrative state, which only continued to grow and lives on today.
