Описание: Did preoccupations with family and work crowd out interest in politics in the nineteenth century, as some have argued? Arguing that social historians have gone too far in concluding that Americans were not deeply engaged in public life and that political historians have gone too far in asserting that politics informed all of Americans' lives, Mark Neely seeks to gauge the importance of politics for ordinary people in the Civil War era.Looking beyond the usual markers of political activity, Neely sifts through the political bric-a-brac of the era--lithographs and engravings of political heroes, campaign buttons, songsters filled with political lyrics, photo albums, newspapers, and political cartoons. In each of four chapters, he examines a different sphere--the home, the workplace, the gentlemen's Union League Club, and the minstrel stage--where political engagement was expressed in material culture. Neely acknowledges that there were boundaries to political life, however. But as his investigation shows, political expression permeated the public and private realms of Civil War America.

Beginning with the Age of Exploration, Canadian Boundaries traces the evolution of Canadian sovereign territory through international treaties and other diplomatic instruments. The book shows how the country developed from the time of the initial contact by European explorers with the Americas through the resolution of the rivalries between the European powers in what is now Canada. It then turns to the subsequent diplomatic challenges posed by an expanding United States of America and shows how boundary treaties shaped the country to arrive at the borders of Canada as it exists in the early twenty-first century.
