1760 1837 Whig World

Transatlantic Radicals and the Early American Republic

In the transatlantic world of the late eighteenth century, easterly winds blew radical thought to America. Thomas Paine had already arrived on these shores in 1774 1760 1837 whig world and made his mark as a radical pamphleteer during the Revolution. In his wake followed more than 200 other radical exiles -- English Dissenters, Whigs, 1760 1837 whig world and Painites; Scottish lads o`parts ; 1760 1837 whig world and Irish patriots -- who became influential newspaper writers 1760 1837 whig world and editors 1760 1837 whig world and helped change the nature of political discourse in a young nation. Michael Durey has written the first full-scale analysis of these radicals, evaluating the long-term influence their ideas have had on American political thought. Transatlantic Radicals uncovers the roots of their radicalism in the Old World 1760 1837 whig world and tells the story of how these men came to be exiled, how they emigrated, 1760 1837 whig world and how they participated in the politics of their adopted country. Nearly all of these radicals looked to Paine as their spiritual leader 1760 1837 whig world and to Thomas Jefferson as their political champion. They held egalitarian, anti-federalist values 1760 1837 whig world and promoted an extreme form of participatory democracy that found a niche in the radical wing of Jefferson`s Republican Party. Their divided views on slavery, however, reveal that democratic republicanism was unable to cope with the realities of that institution. As political activists during the 1790s, they proved crucial to Jefferson`s 1800 presidential victory; then, after his views moderated 1760 1837 whig world and their influence waned, many repatriated, others drifted into anonymity, 1760 1837 whig world and a few managed to find success in the New World. Although many of these men are known to us through other histories, their influence as a group has never before been soclosely examined. Durey persuasively demonstrates that the intellectual ferment in Britain did indeed have tremendous influence on American politics. His account of that influence sheds considerable light on transatlantic political history 1760 1837 whig world and differences in religious, political, 1760 1837 whig world and economic fre
