In this particular monumental story of American imperial conquest and capitalist development, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Steven Hahn dismantles the traditional histories of the 19th hundred years and offers a point of view that promises to be as long lasting as it is questionable. It starts and ends in Mexico and it is throughout internationalist in orientation. It troubles the political narrative of sectionalism, emphasizing the national footing of slavery and the struggle between the Northeast and the Mississippi Valley for continental supremacy. It places the Civil Conflict in the framework of many domestic rebellions against talk about power, including those of Native Americans. It fully comes with the trans-Mississippi Western world, suggesting the importance of the Pacific to the imperial eye-sight of political leaders and of the Western world as a proving earth for later imperial tasks abroad. It reconfigures the history of capitalism, insisting on the centrality of talk about development and slave emancipation to its consolidation. It identifies a sweeping era of reconstructions in the past due-19th and early 20th decades that laid the foundations for commercial liberalism and sociable democracy simultaneously.
