Taming Democracy, winner of 2008 Philip S. Klein Book Prize

Reviews of Taming Democracy

"This is a rare book--scholarly yet written with verve, readable for pleasure as well as for knowledge."
--Publishers Weekly

 

"With keen insight and deep research, Terry Bouton recovers a lost world: the agrarian democracy of revolutionary America. His vivid prose illuminates the struggle of common people to fulfill the promise of the American Revolution. By retelling their story so fully and fairly, Bouton renews their cause in our present day."
--Alan Taylor, author of The Divided Ground

 

"For many ordinary Americans living in Pennsylvania, the Revolution did not turn out as they had hoped. Committed to the creation of a more egalitarian society, they resisted British rule, only to discover that the rich and well-born had no interest in supporting serious democratic reform. In this compelling study, Bouton brings passion and insight to the bittersweet story of the betrayal of a truly revolutionary society."
--T.H. Breen, Director, Center for Historical Studies, Northwestern University
