Gordon S. Wood offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. This work forms part of the Oxford History of the United States.

The three decades between the 1776 War of Independence and 1787 Constitutional Convention and the end of the War of 1812 were among the most precarious and consequential in American history. From this new government, founded on untested but inspiring political principles, a government which still permitted one-fifth of its population to be enslaved, developed the institutions and a democratic culture which shaped American civil society.
