Book Overview

""The Formation of the Union"" by Albert Bushnell Hart is a historical account of the events leading up to the formation of the United States of America. The book covers the period from the early settlements in North America to the adoption of the Constitution in 1787. It discusses the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the formation of the Union, including the struggles between the colonies and Great Britain, the American Revolution, and the Articles of Confederation. The author provides detailed analysis of the debates and compromises that led to the creation of the Constitution and the establishment of a federal government. The book also explores the challenges faced by the new nation, including the issue of slavery and the tensions between the North and South. Overall, ""The Formation of the Union"" is a comprehensive and engaging account of the birth of the United States of America.There were other reasons why the British continued to subject American ships in English ports to discriminations and duties from which the vessels of most other powers were exempt. The treaty of 1783 had provided that Congress would recommend to the States just treatment of the loyalists; the recommendation was made. Most of the States declined to comply; men who had been eminent before the Revolution returned to find themselves distrusted, and sometimes were mobbed; their estates, which in most cases had been confiscated, were withheld, and they could obtain no consideration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
