Inventing the People: The Rise of Popular Sovereignty in England and America
Author: Edmund S. Morgan
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393347494
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"The best explanation that I have seen for our distinctive combination of faith, hope and naiveté concerning the governmental process." —Michael Kamman, Washington Post This book makes the provocative case here that America has remained politically stable because the Founding Fathers invented the idea of the American people and used it to impose a government on the new nation. His landmark analysis shows how the notion of popular sovereignty—the unexpected offspring of an older, equally fictional notion, the "divine right of kings"—has worked in our history and remains a political force today.

From England to America

ISBN: 9780692568866
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
While the focus of this book centers on the Allred Family in England and Colonial North America, anyone interested in the story of early immgrants to the Colonies will find this book informative. Members of the Allred family first appear in the records in Eccles Parish, Lancashire, England and continue even after the migration of Solomon Allred, to West Nottingham, Chester, Pennsylvania and eventual relocation to central North Carolina. This single voyager would change the fortunes of a great many descendants of this family in America, as they became involved in the social and religous life, politics and wars that helped create the world in which we now live. Evidence is presented and well documented and provides a background for future research, writing and dialogue.

Albion's Seed
Author: David Hackett Fischer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019974369X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 981
Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
