MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

  • Schakenbach Regele EHA Graduate Dissertation Fellowship Application January 15, 2014
    Schakenbach Regele EHA Graduate Dissertation Fellowship Application January 15, 2014 Manufacturing Advantage: The Federal Government, Diplomacy and the Origins of American Industrialization, 1790-1840 My dissertation seeks to explain the early republican transition from merchant to industrial capitalism by analyzing the development of the New England arms and textile industries in the context of federal patronage and expanding geopolitical dominance in the Americas. Historians and present day commentators alike often emphasize individual initiative, technological innovation, and freedom from government regulation in the march from eighteenth-century mercantilism to nineteenth-century liberal capitalism; yet, a strong federal government was essential for generating economic growth in the decades following the nation’s founding. 1 And while much work on industrialization has focused on the social implications wrought by economic transformations, changing labor systems, individual entrepreneurship, and the rise of the modern business firm, this project will reveal how businessmen and policymakers used the state’s nation-building capacities to create markets both at home and abroad that directly facilitated the industrialization of the North.2 The dissertation draws on the records of Congress and the War and State Departments, manufacturing companies and armories, and individual businessmen to argue that the early republican federal government shaped the development of the arms and textiles industries in New England as it pursued an agenda of military preparedness, territorial expansion, and economic growth. As it counters what historian William Novak calls “the myth of the weak state”, this project intervenes in four areas of study: business, foreign relations, political economy, and the early national 1 See for example, Joyce Oldham Appleby, The Relentless Revolution: A History of Capitalism (New York: W.W.

  • The JOURNAL of the RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES
    The JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES VOLUME XLII JUNE 1980 NUMBER I JOHN ADAMS' CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE BY PETER SHAW Mr. Shaw teaches English at SUNY, Stonybrook HEN John Adams complained in old age that the history of the Revolution would never be written, his words applied Wwith particular aptness to the period between 1761 and 1776. Once Independence was declared, participants began to keep records of all kinds with an eye to history, but in the uncertain years before 1776 much that later became of interest was either not recorded or not pre- served. Ironically enough, though Adams worried about being over- looked in accounts of the early part of the Revolutionary story, and though his own records were among the most circumstantial and com- plete, they, too, left unanswered questions about the period before 1776. It is not clear, for example, exactly when and how Adams attached himself to the patriot movement. He protested the Stamp Act in 1765, to be sure, but then appears to have either subsided into inactivity or actually to have grown disenchanted with the patriot party. Between 1766, when the Stamp Act was repealed, and 1768, when the Town- shend duties renewed widespread opposition to England, Adams stopped keeping his normally thorough diary \ and, where ordinarily his letter book would have been filled with his regular correspondence, he wrote virtually no personal or business letters. The mystery of his state of mind during this period—something he never cleared up in all his voluminous reminiscences—throws light on the vicissitudes of patriot- ism in the years before Independence.

Houston / His Excellency John Adams President of the United States / Respectfully Dedicated to the Lovers of their Country and Firm Supporters of its Constitution / Published by D. Kennedy 228 Market St. Philad". (ca. 1797) Please do not cite or quote without permission of author. Book scheduled to be published on 4 July 2020 by Oxford University Press Prof. R. B. Bernstein Department of Political Science North Academic Center, Room 4/138A 160 Convent Avenue New York, New York 10031 TEL: 212.650.7385 15 August 2019 EMAIL: rbernstein@ccny cuny edu To the Colloquium: I am honored to start off our semester – honored and apprehensive. The Education of John Adams has made more than one appearance before this group, as part of its gestation, which has taken fourteen (yes, 14) years. In the past year, I have had to edit the manuscript severely when its 126,000 words exceeded the contracted-for length by 26,000 words.. Repeated reviews of the text have cut it by approximately 26,500 words. In addition, I have severely edited it to make it as clear and concise as possible. Thus, there is no longer any need for further editorial advice. What I do need and ask of you, please, is that you assess the book’s argument in general and as to particular subjects. The particular subjects have to do with John Adams, slavery, and race. The appearance in 2018 of Arthur Scherr’s combative monograph John Adams, Slavery, and Race (Peraeger/Greenwood) has spotlighted issues that previous students of Adams’s life and work have overlooked or neglected.
