Hardcover. Zustand: Good. "The infant republic had matured and come of age; he stood like a lusty giant, much larger and greater than his European sire. It might be said that "the Young Bull had challenged the Old Bull!" John Bull and La Belle France emitted large volumes of criticisms and advice. Other nations joined in to a lesser degree. The Europeans boiled, fumed, and ranted at these United States that now challenged their leadership. And, like the proverbial offspring, the Americans bragged to high heaven and promptly produced what they boasted about. Ever since the War of 1812, the Americans had steadily severed, one by one, the colonial type of political influences of Europe that were evident in the period before 1812. The tremendous growth of the population was more than matched by the economic growth, and by the 1840s there had been established, especially in the expanding cities, a well-rounded American society. The basic background of this society was a well-fed, affluent, middle class of American. Also, census records for rural areas show the farmer having a net worth of $10,000 or more, to be commonplace." Ex military library copy so expect lighter than usual wear than usual library copies.
