- Summary
-
- Americans who lived between the Revolution and Civil War felt the brunt of resounding and sometimes frightening changes, which together influenced the politics of early America. In this lively study, Robert V. Shalhope examines one of the most controversial of these changes - 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, Shalhope untangles the clash
- Among three competing ideologies 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 (and indeed did not wish for) the result - the emergence of democratic liberalism. Shalhope writes of class tension, economic competition, and religious
- Differences - and ultimately of cultural conflict and political partisanship - and yet throughout uses individual life experiences to give the narrative piquancy and 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
