He contends that americanca gave rise to a new concept of a liberal society, a “liberal tradition” that has been central to our experience of events both at home and abroad. The study demonstrates how the absence of a European feudal order spared the new nation a social revolution, establishing an unchallenged Lockian consensus.
Turning to European parallels, the author shows how this shared individualist ethos disarmed antebellum Southern theorists and repeatedly hindered the rise of an indigenous socialist movement.
The volume traces these political crosscurrents through the New Deal to clarify why a nation born equal struggles to comprehend ideological revolutions abroad. New Introduction by Tom Wicker; Index.
- Political Philosophy: Examines how the absence of an Old World feudal order led Americans to embrace John Locke’s concept of natural freedom as an unexamined national reality rather than a revolutionary theory.
- American Politics: Details how nineteenth-century Whigs abandoned Alexander Hamilton’s aristocratic elitism to defeat Jacksonian populism by championing democratic capitalism and the self-made man.
- United States History: Analyzes the antebellum South’s intellectual dilemma, showing how theorists like George Fitzhugh and John C. Calhoun attempted to mount a feudal defense of slavery within an inherently bourgeois culture.
- Historiography: Reassesses the influential conflict models of Progressive historians such as Charles Beard and Frederick Jackson Turner, arguing that their focus on class division missed the deeper ideological solidarity of American life.
- World Politics: Explores why a nation born equal has historically oscillated between isolationism and moral crusading, struggling to interpret foreign societies that must forge democracy out of social revolution.
