Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a neglected field of history: the constitutional and political history of the individual states, focusing mainly on the period from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, with particular attention to the state constitutions framed during this time. The author argues these state histories possess as much importance as national history, as evidenced in the significant, yet often unrecognized, influence of the state governments on the life of the national constitution. Furthermore, the author contends that a truer understanding of our national story cannot be reached without knowledge of its component parts. The author maintains that studying state history texts, which are frequently over-stuffed with detail but scant on genesis-related information, will not rectify this knowledge gap. Instead, the author suggests investigating a wide range of sources, including county and town records, private correspondence, and newspapers, to uncover the realities of the political history of average citizens.
