This is an automatically translated description

People's unrest, unprincipled party wars, election fraud, the split of a young country into two regions, a split among elites over foreign policy orientation, uncertainty and fragility of the constitutional order, manipulation of patriotism and external threats to establish a dictatorship, mudslinging of political opponents in the press, the willingness of some elites to destroy the country for the sake of their interestsAll this is the United States in the 1790s. In this decisive decade for American history, little foreshadowed the successes that the country would achieve later. In the work of leading American historian Joseph Ellis, the early republic comes to life in all its glory: provincial, wrought with contradictions, uncertain of its future, and by no means destined to dominate the world, it survived thanks to leaders who valued the integrity of the country above all else.

Advised for historians and other scholars of societies, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in analysing trends and drawing parallels to understand the course of history in general.
