- catalog abstract "Risjord divides this book into three sections, each exploring one of the era's dominant themes. The first section, "Nation Builders," follows the careers of military men such as George Washington and Francis Marion and examines life on the homefront through the eyes of Abigail Adams. The section headed "Character Builders" examines the lives of people who sought to mold an American national character, men such as Charles Willson Peale, Benjamin Rush, and Noah Webster. The last section explores the paradox that the Revolutionary generation also gave birth to an empire in which a self-governing people ruled, sometimes tyranically, over others. - Publisher.".
