In the Early Republic, the United States remained firmly within the
British Empire of Goods, reflecting a sense of cultural insecurity
that haunted the newly independent nation. At the same time, many
Americans increasingly turned to French goods. What did these
things mean to American consumers? As a cultural history of French
things in the Early American Republic, Dr. Nadine Klopfer’s project
tells a story of nation-building and social distinction in the
post-revolutionary United States as an entangled history of trade,
taste, and things, while shedding new light on French-American
relations around 1800. Den Originalbeitrag und mehr finden Sie
