商品簡介
Scherr explores Jefferson's ideas about democracy and the new republic, especially the frequent disputes between New England--especially Massachusetts--and the rest of the country. His topics include Jefferson and New England: the crisis of the later 1790s, the "mammoth cheese" and Jefferson's loose alliance with Massachusetts Baptists, New England and the South in the mind of an aging Jefferson, Jefferson bares his teeth against Lyman Beecher and New England's "priests," and Jefferson's political map and terminal national union include New England.
