The era from 1830 to 1910 witnessed massive transformations in how people lived, worked, thought about themselves, & struggled to live & thrive. It also witnessed the birth of economic & political institutions that still shape our world. America`s population grew more than ten-fold. The country expanded to the Pacific coast & then out into the Pacific itself. Civil warfare erupted. Three centuries of slavery ended. Native peoples were suppressed & remanded to reservations. Massive waves of immigrants from Europe & Asia arrived. From an agricultural society with a weak central government, the US became an urban & industrial society in which government assumed a greater & greater role in the framing of social & economic life. A Nation Without Borders`s signature achievement is to place this history in a wholly new light, by capturing the tensions & contradictions between nation & empire. His new interpretations include the fact that slavery was national not sectional, that Jim Crow racism initially emerged in the Northeast & Midwest, that ”sectionalism” was less a fact of politics than an important political construct in the battle over slavery`s future, & that the principle struggle of the period was not between the North & South but rather between the Northeast & the Mississippi Valley for control of the continent & hemisphere. Hahn`s strikingly original thesis resets the familiar framework of that of a country expanding from colony. He shows how, the United States had, from its colonial origins & birth as a union, significant imperial ambitions on the continent & in the hemisphere, & that the United States only became a nation, a nation-state
- as many others did
- in the midst of a massive political & military struggle in the 1860s. A nation is understood to have clearly defined borders, which delineate sovereignty & belonging. Empires, though they may expand & contract, lack real borders; they are more about vectors, claims, & alliances. By 1910, as the ”long” nineteenth century came to a close, the United States stood as one of the most formidable empires on the globe.
