Everyday Life in Early America

"Life in early America was not nasty, brutish and short, but neither was it the Elysium we often fancy it to have been. Most of those who settled it came from an England that was then in a period of turmoil, and many brought its penchant for disorder and intolerance with them. In time these were ameliorated, and the foundation for a great republic began to be laid." -Washington Post. SC 195 pages.
