Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a look back at the beginning of the 19th century to survey many facets of American progress to date. The author, an early 19th century intellectual, takes a data-driven approach to describing major developments in the United States up to the mid-1840s. Statistical information on territorial growth, expansion of the population, and integration of territories such as Louisiana are used to demonstrate the rapid development taking place, and are analyzed and contextualized within a broader American historical and political framework. The author also discusses growth in commerce, the internal improvements such as canals and railroads, expansion of the postal service, development of education, and expansion of religion. Analysis of these developments is used to illustrate the growth of American society and culture during this dynamic and formative period.
