Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy How Hamilton''s Merchant Class Lost Out to the Agrarian South

Informationen zum Autor Charles A. Beard (1874-1948) taught history at Columbia University but his considerable influence stems largely from his extensive writings in history and political science. This is the follow-up to his most famous work, which offered a controversial reassessment of the origins of the U. S. Constitution, suggesting that the Founding Fathers were motivated by economic rather than philosophical principles. Clyde W. Barrow, Ph.D., is author of More Than a Historian: The Political and Economic Thought of Charles A. Beard. Currently Professor and Chair of Political Science at the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley, he was previously Chancellor Professor in the Policy Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, where he also served as Director of the Center of Policy Analysis. Klappentext Focusing on the period from the Constitution's adoption through the Jefferson administration, this volume chronicles the rise and triumph of the agrarian, slave-holding South over the urban, mercantile-oriented North.
