When
tlie
people of British North America threw off their colonial bonds, they sought
more than freedom from bad government: most of the founding generation also de¬
sired the freedom to create and enjoy good, popular, responsive government This book
traces the central issue on wliich early Americans pinned their hopes for positive
government action—internal improvement
The nation s early republican governments undertook a wide range of internal im¬
provement projects meant to assure Americans security, prosperity, and enlighten¬
ment—from the building of roads, canals, and bridges to the establishment of univer¬
sities and libraries. But competitive struggles eventually undermined the interstate and
interregional cooperation required, and the public soured on the internal improve¬
ment movement. Jacksonian politicians seized this opportunity to promote a more
libertarian political philosophy in place of activist, positive republicanism. By the
Д850Ѕ,
the United States had turned toward a laissez-faire system of policy that, ironically,
guaranteed more freedom for capitalists and entrepreneurs than ever envisioned in
the founders revolutionary republicanism.
