Contents:

The revolutionary commonwealth -- Fragmentation and contestation -- The political transformation of civil society -- Forging a grassroots public sphere -- The elite public sphere -- Democrats strike back.

Summary: Neem explores the multiple conflicts that produced a vibrant pluralistic civil society following the American Revolution. The result was an astounding release of civic energy as ordinary people, long denied a voice in public debates, organized to advocate temperance, to protect the Sabbath, and to abolish slavery; elite Americans formed private institutions to promote education and their stewardship of culture and knowledge. --from publisher description.
