Newman vividly evokes the celebrations of America's first national holidays in the years between the ratification of the Constitution and the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson. He demonstrates how, by taking part in the festive culture of the streets, ordinary American men and women were able to play a significant role in forging the political culture of the young nation. The creation of many of the patriotic holidays we still celebrate coincided with the emergence of the first two-party system. With the political songs they sang, the liberty poles they raised, and the partisan badges they wore, Americans of many walks of life helped shape a new national politics destined to replace the regional practices of the colonial era.Early American studies.FestivalsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory18th centuryFestivalsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and government1783-1809United StatesPolitics and government1775-1783FestivalsPolitical aspectsHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryFestivalsPolitical aspectsHistoryPolitical cultureHistory973.4Newman Simon P(Simon Peter),1960-1137811MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781733103321Parades and the politics of the street3759859UNINA
