Stevenson. Ph. D. Te tha average
reader thla period In tha history of the
United State Is that of a atretctt of
unimportant events, almost spanning
the two great wars. Tha war or ill I
cornea in, to be aura, but It la so over
shadowed by. tha one before and the
on following It la never given Its dua
prominence except by tha student of
history, who recognises It. aa well a
thla period of which Professor Steven
son writes, If not tha greatest history

oountry. It was the j age ' requiring

and. a aoor of others whose name are
Inseparably connected with that tlma
were contending aver fts interpretation.
Professor Stevenson takes up his his
tory on March 4, 1809. when James
Madison assumes tha presidential toga
cast off by Jefferson, which the author
say was a Ugacy of mlxed good and
111. "It Included a huge land purchase
fast filling up with a restless throng
of . individualists, among ' whom there
waa a feeling, not shared by the men
of tint older states, that they In tbslr
relation to the national government
were peculiarly the children of it care.
Thla craving for protection augured
well for th national ' powar, for tha
drift ef population waa te the wear.
Thr wer also supreme court decis
ions, offset, it le true, by the foroe of
the 'Old idea of the light of atate.
There was also tb eontlnuanc of the
Virginia dynaaty la which the Booth
was upheld by the west, offset in tble
case by the Jealous aentlment of the
northwest federalist opposed , to both
the rule of Virginia' and . th growing
power of the Mississippi valley. And
as If to complicate the situation still
more the retiring president clung, to
hi embargo policy with 1 auch irrltat
Ing tenacity, dropping it only whan the
tension threatened the stability of. the
union.
The period, then .which haa bean as
signed Professor Stevenson to chronicle
opens pregnant with portentou omen
which later find expression In the
declaration of the war of lilt.
