Reseña del editor
This work is about the rise and fall of the Old Dominion - the decline of Virginia and the splintering of the new republic. For a time the commonwealth of Virginia led the nation. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Marshall - each came from the state. For thirty-two of the first thirty-six years of the existence of the American republic, a Virginian held the office of President. And yet by the middle of the nineteenth century, Virginia was little more than a byword for slavery, provincialism and poverty. What happened? In "Dominion of Memories", historian Susan Dunn chronicles the precipitous decline of what was once America's most promising state. While the North rapidly industrialized and democratized, Virginia lay captive to a firmly entrenched political elite that turned its back on the accelerating modern world. Two of Virginia's greatest sons, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, both observed and exemplified this divergence. Towards the end of his life, Jefferson became first and foremost a Virginian as he retreated from his earlier cosmopolitism in favour of an agrarian ideal. Madison on the other hand, rejected this vision and warned Virginians that their burgeoning parochialism would lead ultimately to disunion. This enthralling examination of the competing claims of country and homeland encapsulates in the history of a single state the struggle of an entire nation drifting inexorably towards Civil War.
