Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A RED "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE TOP PAGE EDGES. In GEORGE WASHINGTON'S JOURNEY, T.H. Breen reconstructs a bold and original trip that transformed American political culture. Worried about the stability of the new constitutional order, the first president organized a series off arduous journeys that took him to all thirteen states. By taking the government to the people, he believed he could help them better understand the pressing need to support a strong federal union. At every stop, he reminded ordinary Americans that the new nation was -- must be -- more than a sum of its separate parts. We encounter on this tour a Washington we rarely meet. A master of political theater, the president attended to every detail: the appearance of the coach, the grooming of horses, the visits to Revolutionary battlefields, and the receptions and dancing that lasted long into the night. These grand events invited ordinary Americans -- women as well as men, many of whom could not vote -- to pull together so that they might fulfill the hopes that inspired the Revolution. THERE IS A RED "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE TOP PAGE EDGES.

This is George Washington in the surprising role of political strategist. T.H. Breen introduces us to a George Washington we rarely meet. During his first term as president, he decided that the only way to fulfill the Revolution was to take the new federal government directly to the people. He organized an extraordinary journey carrying him to all thirteen states. It transformed American political culture. For Washington, the stakes were high. If the nation fragmented, as it had almost done after the war, it could never become the strong, independent nation for which he had fought. In scores of communities, he communicated a powerful and enduring message, that America was now a nation, not a loose collection of states. And the people responded to his invitation in ways that he could never have predicted. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: With the vitality of a great storyteller, Breen recreates the journeys that Washington made between 1789 and 1791 through the original 13 states as the new president introduced himself to his constituents. It's an absorbing portrait of early America's struggles, and Breen points out that neither Washington nor the people he met knew quite what it meant to be a citizen of this new republic. Breen brilliantly attends to the political differences that threatened Washington's newly formed cabinet, as well as to the ways that American citizens had already written Washington into their own political narrative: a Revolutionary War hero hailed as an American Caesar. Yet, Washington sought to deliver a message that this new republic could work only with a "strong and honest federal government and a citizenry committed to the preservation of human rights and liberty." Issues such as slavery would divide the new nation soon enough, but Washington returned home optimistic about the state of the union. Breen's superb chronicle offers glimpses into Washington's love of his country and its people, and his willingness to meet them on their own terms to secure the unity of the new republic.
