Looks at the history of the United States during the period between the end of the Revolution and the establishment of the federal government, and discusses the country's economic and social conditions

From Library Journal:

Morris surveys the much neglected Confederation period, viewing it as a critical time defined by political experimentation, free enterprise values, and inequality. He deals with such standard political issues as the Northwest Ordinance and the establishment of the Confederation government and the state constitutions. He also tackles demographic, ethnic, and social topics as well as the economic tangle of postwar indebtedness and the aftermath of wartime finances, which led to postwar depression and Shay's Rebellion in New England. The study ends with the Federal Constitution and its ratification. Though unearthing little new information, Morris offers a worthwhile synthesis to both generalists and scholars and updates Merrill Jensen's The New Nation (1950).
