The second installment of David Nevin's American Story series covers the historic formative years of the American Republic, from 1799 to 1803. During Thomas Jefferson's first term as President, the United States is threatened on both the domestic and international fronts. As the devious Vice President, Aaron Burr, pursues his own political agenda, France poses an immediate danger to U.S. interests, culminating in the negotiations and controversial purchase of the Louisiana territory. With heightened suspense, the book charts the mean-spirited election of 1800, the painstaking Lewis and Clark Expedition and the country's westward expansion. An enjoyable read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, whose thirst for power cannot be quenched, has gained control of New Orleans, a move that gives him potential mastery of the Mississippi River Valley. A country as strong as France could stop America's free-trade market from growing along the great waterway. American businesses have begun to thrive on the Mississippi, including that of the widow of Danny Mobry, a shipping tycoon and one of the most sought-after women in New Orleans and Washington. As France forces the young nation's hand economically and politically, there is a movement in the Northeast to turn toward England. Such a move could bring those states back under the colonial yoke they just shook off. Suddenly the United States is a global nation, as the greatest minds and visionaries of a young America struggle to hold it all together. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
