American history

[Anonymous No.18952181]

What are some of /lit/‘s favorite American history books, I guess I should specify a time range so let’s say ~Revolution to the end of antebellum, that’s quite big still I guess

Anyway I’m looking for anything written during the era or afterwards by historians that accurately portray the way of thought in terms of poltics and government back then

Pamphlets, memoirs, political pieces by major figures, etc

A Country of Vast Designs by Robert Merry details the administration of James K. Polk. I personally liked the book and I am reading President McKinley by Robert Merry right now.

Grant's memoirs are kino

I like McCullough
1776 and his biography of John Adams was good
I like Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton.
The Federalist Papers and the Anti Federalist Papers are both interesting reads though more primary sources than history
I also liked Miracle in Philadelphia a history of the Constitutional Convention
I read Beard’s Evonomic Interpretation of the Constitution even though it overly simplified things it was interesting to discover possible economic motivations behind the framers of the constitution

Last year I read Albion's Seed, The Cousins Wars by Kevin Phillips, and The Republic for which it stands by Richard White. All excellent tomes detailing incredibly important aspects of American history.

wouldn't united statesman conform better to the english lexicon? with statesmen being the shorthand term?

but besides, Americans have been calling themselves such since literally before the revolution (and so do most outside the hebernospere). And as the first independent country of the americans, it even has precedence as the first independent modern new world state. Americans and everyone else doesnt even think about this topic. Only autistic 3rd worlders do. they simply think of America and the Americas.

Also, geographicly (and to even some extent culturally) north and south america are contenents. thus Americas makes perfect sense.

Draper's A Struggle for Power is a fantastic book on the decades leading up to the revolution

I've got Chernow's biographies of Hamilton and Grant on order. His biography of Washington was really good.
Jon Meacham's biography of Thomas Jefferson was a good read.
