| Summary |
"Formation of the Union, 1750-1829" by Albert Bushnell Hart is a historical account penned in the late 19th century. The book examines the development of the United States from a collection of disjointed colonies into a unified nation, focusing on the causes behind this transformation rather than merely recounting events. It addresses key topics such as the struggle for independence from British rule, the establishment of popular governance, and the socio-political conditions that shaped the early republic. The opening of the book presents a preface that sets the stage for a structured analysis of American history, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying forces that contributed to the formation of the Union. Hart discusses the diverse geographic and demographic characteristics of the American colonies circa 1750, highlighting their political systems, social dynamics, and economic conditions. This foundational setup establishes a broad context for the issues that would arise in the ensuing chapters, which delve deeper into significant events such as the French and Indian War, the causes of the American Revolution, and the aftermath of independence that eventually shaped the new nation's governance framework.
