Synopsis

A window into Revolutionary-era debates and daily life.

This edition presents historical notes attributed to Dr. Benjamin Rush from 1777, offering a vivid glimpse into the thoughts, discussions, and concerns that shaped early American politics. It collects the voices of Congress, commentators, and observers as they wrestle with independence, money, and strategy.

The notes cover debates on the Continental Congress’s authority, the role of four New England states, and the evolving idea of unity among the colonies. They include commentary from notable figures and a close look at how people talked about taxes, loans, and the price of goods during a tense period. The material also records Rush’s own thoughts on leadership, public virtue, and the balance between liberty and order.

• Insights into early American politics, money, and public policy.
• Contemporary viewpoints from figures like Rush, Adams, and Lee.
• The texture of wartime debate, opinion, and cultural divides.
• Observations on public sentiment, loyalty, and the press of events.

Ideal for readers of early American history, political thought, and biographies of the era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Historical Notes of Dr. Benjamin Rush, 1777

Mr. John Adams said, that he lately travelled thro' New Eng that he was sure that the approbation of the Con gress of the meeting would give pleasure to the committee and their constituents. That thier meeting was founded in necessity. That altho' we were not confederated, the same principles of equity reason should govern as if we were united by a confederacy - that the four New England states bore the same relation to the Congress that four counties bore to a single state. These four counties have a right to meet to regulate roads - and affairs that relate to the poor but they have no right to tax or execute any other branch of legislation. In like manner the four New Eng States, or any other four states have a right to meet upon matters Wholly indifferent, but they have no right to touch upon continental subjects - that the committee from the 4 New Eng States have touched upon continental Subjects, therefore, the meeting stands in need of the approbation of the Congress.
