American Radicals: How Nineteenth-Century Protest Shaped the Nation

Throughout the 19th century the United States was a nation of activists who believed their young nation had not yet completed the recolution its founders had started. Socialists, abolitionists, and farmers demanding free-soil land, activists formed networks in urban mobs and agricultural communes across the nation. This book presents a dynamic history of these 19th century activists and the turbulent social revolutions they sparked both before and after the Civil War.
