How the Post Office Created America: A History

Those of us who were around in the 1990s remember when email changed everything about communication. But there was a time before the internet, before the telephone or telegraph, that the creation of the Post Office changed not just how America communicated but its very makeup as a country. How the Post Office Created America shares fascinating anecdotes to examine the startling role of the postal service in the United States’ political, social, economic, and physical development. Predating the Declaration of Independence, the post office bound the disparate colonies together, helping it shift from a farming society to an industrial one.
