| Summary | "Union and Democracy" by Allen Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the formative period of American history following the Revolutionary War, examining the evolution of the United States' federal union and the emergence of democracy from 1783 onward. The author focuses on the challenges faced under the Articles of Confederation, the development of the Constitution, and the sociopolitical transformations resulting from the westward expansion. The opening of the book sets a tone of optimism contrasted with underlying challenges. Johnson discusses the initial enthusiasm of Americans after gaining independence, highlighting the profound economic difficulties they soon encountered after the war, such as widespread debt and discontent among various classes. As the Confederation struggled to maintain order and financial stability, the text suggests growing calls for a stronger federal government, setting the stage for significant debates about governance, rights, and the consolidation of national identity. The narrative captures the tension between aspirations for unity and the reality of regional divides, hinting at the events that would ultimately shape the future of the nation.
