A Nation Without Borders

This groundbreaking history by Steven Hahn challenges conventional narratives of 19th-century America, exploring themes of imperialism, capitalism, and nation-building from a global perspective. It examines the interconnected struggles of slavery, domestic rebellions, and westward expansion, including Native American resistance, to provide a comprehensive view of the era's political and economic transformations. The book highlights how these developments set the stage for modern corporate liberalism and social democracy, emphasizing the central role of state formation and emancipation.
