  • Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800
    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY John Swanwick: Spokesman for "Merchant-Republicanism ' In Philadelphia, 1790-179 8 HE literature on the era of Jeffersonian democracy is largely- dominated by the great triumvirate of Thomas Jefferson, TJames Madison, and Albert Gallatin.* During the last dec- ade, however, historians have been paying more attention to state and local political leaders who played significant roles in the Demo- cratic-Republican movement.1 Among the more notable second-rank * In a somewhat abbreviated form this article was presented as a paper at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association held at Williamsport, Pa., on Oct. 22-23, 1971. The author wishes to express his gratitude to his colleague, Bernard Sternsher, for his helpful editorial suggestions. 1 Historians have given most of their attention to secondary Federalists, but since i960 the number of modern scholarly biographies of less prominent Republicans has increased. We now have first-rate biographies on Robert R. Livingston, David Rittenhouse, Aaron Burr, Daniel D. Tompkins, John Breckinridge, Luther Martin, Benjamin Rush (2), Samuel Smith, and James Monroe. There are also a number of good unpublished doctoral dissertations. Among the more notable studies are those on Elkanah Watson, Simon Snyder, Mathew Carey, Samuel Latham Mitchell, Melancton Smith, Levi Woodbury, William Lowndes, William Duane, William Jones (2), Eleazer Oswald, Thomas McKean, Levi Lincoln, Ephraim Kirby, and John Nicholson. Major biographies of Tench Coxe by Jacob E. Cooke, of John Beckley by Edmund Berkeley, and of Thomas McKean by John M. Coleman and Gail Stuart Rowe are now in progress. 131 132 ROLAND M.

  • Landmark Towns Regional Revitalization Strategy
    LANDMARK TOWNS REGIONAL REVITALIZATION STRATEGY Introduction The Landmark Towns Initiative is a cooperative venture between the historic boroughs of Bristol, Morrisville, New Hope and Yardley Pennsylvania The purpose of the Landmark Towns Initiative is to establish a regional approach to economic development and community revitalization focused on the commercial opportunities and growth in tourism identified by four the Delaware riverfront boroughs of Bristol, Morrisville, New Hope and Yardley Bucks County. To pursue these opportunities, the four municipalities joined with the Delaware & Lehigh Heritage Corridor Commission Inc., in a 'Cooperative Venture' in the spring of 2006 and produced a scope of work and a work plan. This $25,000 planning effort, (see attached) was self funded and has resulted in the development of this following strategic plan. Since September of 2006, staff of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Commission and the selected consulting firm of Keystone Heritage Group LLC. have worked with the four municipalities to develop this strategic plan. This effort, which has been done in regular consultation with Ms. Antoinette Crawford Major, Regional Director DCED, has included town meeting and site visits within each municipality, meetings with various stakeholders and regular monthly meetings of the Landmark Towns of Bucks County Steering Committee They are now seeking the Commonwealth's support, through the New Communities Program, for participation in the multi-year Regional Coordinators Program Elements

  • George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of the American Revolution by David Head
    2021-007 25 Jan. 2021 A Crisis of Peace: George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of The American Revolution by David Head . New York: Pegasus, 2019. Pp. xvii, 284. ISBN 978–1–64313–081–1. Review by Ciaran Jones, St. Mary’s University School of Law ([email protected]). In A Crisis of Peace , historian David Head (Univ. of Central Florida) recounts the waning days of the American Revolution, when anger over Congress’s inability to pay Continental officers roiled the Northern Army encamped in upstate New York. He argues that the gathering of officers at Newburgh in March 1783, which inflamed fears of a military coup and goaded Congress into a par- tial settlement of the soldiers’ grievances, was not the product of a conspiracy. “My research has made me skeptical that a true conspiracy unfolded at Newburgh” (xii). Head eliminates possible conspirators and argues that prominent nationalists acted independently during the winter of 1782–83 to achieve greater unity among the states. He discusses George Washington’s leadership ability, the economic uncertainty afflicting Continental officers, the severity of Congress’s fiscal predicament, and the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. The United States struggled financially for most of the Revolutionary War. As expenses mounted in the wake of Lexington and Concord, Congress printed more money, which caused soaring inflation: “In January 1777, $1.25 in paper equaled $1 in specie. By April 1781, it took $167.50 in paper to get $1 of specie, a 13,300 percent increase” (13). As the Continental dollar ceased to cir- culate due to its diminishing value, states issued soldiers loan certificates as payment.

    CONTACTS: Ashley Berke Lauren Saul Director of Public Relations Public Relations Manager 215.409.6693 215.409.6895 [email protected] [email protected] NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER FUN FACTS The Making of the National Constitution Center: • The National Constitution Center is the first-ever museum dedicated to the U.S. Constitution. • A permanent memorial to the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia was first proposed around the celebration of the centennial of the Constitution in 1887. It did not begin to take shape until the idea was proposed again 100 years later during the celebration of the document’s bicentennial in 1987. • President Ronald Reagan signed the “Constitution Heritage Act of 1988” on September 16, 1988, which established that a national center for educating, studying, and interpreting the Constitution was to be built at a site on or near Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. • The Center is made of American products, including 85,000 square feet of Indiana limestone, 2.6 million pounds of steel, and a half-million cubic feet of concrete. • The limestone used in building the Constitution Center is from the same quarry as the Empire State Building’s materials. • The Center’s address is 525 Arch Street, specifically chosen because May 25th (5/25) is the date that the Constitutional Convention began in Philadelphia in 1787, right across the street from our building at Independence Hall. • During the design process, Governor Ed Rendell (who was at the time Mayor of Philadelphia) came up with the idea of putting the Preamble on the front of our building.
