She addresses how these men established a critical perspective on American racism, materialism, and jingoism in the decades between the 1850's and the 1890's while she recaptures their insistence on the ability of ordinary citizens to work toward their limitless potential as intelligent and moral human beings. 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitics and culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 676 $a320.510973/09034 700 $aButler$b Leslie$f1969-$01833915 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956007403321 996 $aCritical Americans$94408956 997 $aUNINA
