Description: |
Early nineteenth-century America could just about be summed
up by Henry David Thoreau's words when he said, "Eastward I go
only by force, but westward I go free." It was an exuberant time
for the diverse citizens of the United States, who included a
range of folk, from mountain men and railroad builders to whalers
and farmers, as they pushed forward into the open frontier and
all their hopes and fears are captured in Liberty for All? In
addition to colorful accounts of the massive westward migration,
the California Gold Rush, a war with Mexico, the Oregon boundary
conflict, Texas and the Alamo, Liberty for All? takes a deep look
at the issue that began to gnaw at the country's core: How, in
the land where "all men are created equal," could there be
slaves?
