In the years between the Revolutionary War and the drafting of the Constitution, American gentlemen - the merchants, lawyers, planters, and landowners who comprised the independent republic's elite - worked hard to maintain their positions of power. This volume shows how their struggles over status, hierarchy, property, and control shaped the ideologies and institutions of the fledgling nation.
