| Summary | "The Critical Period of American History" by John Fiske is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the tumultuous years between the end of the Revolutionary War and the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, highlighting the challenges faced by the new nation. Fiske argues that this period was not a time of peace as suggested by some historical narratives, but rather a crucial phase that determined the future of the United States. The opening of the book introduces Fiske's exploration of the immediate post-war era, emphasizing the instability and uncertainty that plagued the newly formed United States. He references the aftermath of the Treaty of Paris and the political dynamics in both America and England as the British government grappled with the loss of its colonies. Fiske highlights the conflict between differing political factions in the wake of the Revolution, presenting key figures and events that shaped this critical period in American history. By setting this context, Fiske lays the groundwork for a deeper analysis of the factors that influenced the establishment of a strong federal system capable of uniting the disparate states.
