Book TV: Gordon Wood, "Empire of Liberty"

"Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789-1815"

Gordon Wood presents a history of the United States from 1789 to the end of the War of 1812. Mr. Wood recalls the debates that occurred over the future of the young country as many wished to replicate the fiscal and military strength of France and Britain and others were resolute in a rural, agricultural model. He also reports that founders of the national government disliked the idea of political parties and wished to see the demise of slavery in the North. Gordon Wood presents his book at the Redwood Library & Athenaeum in Newport, Rhode Island.

@Avalon400 I wonder if he was impressed when the descendants of those immigrants went back to the old countries to save them from his criminality. I guess putting a bullet through your brain in your basic underground concrete shithouse I'll take for a positive.

Hitler especially, was impressed by the dynamic history of an entire continent being overrun, cultivated and mastered by immigrants out of a single part of northwestern of Europe.
