“The greatness of
America lies not in being more
enlightened than any other nation,
but rather in her ability to repair
her faults."
Alexis de Tocqueville
America
entered the world of the 18th century as one of
the first Democratic/Republic countries. She had
to deal with the
Native American situation
at home along with negotiating her
relationships with the other countries of the world.
Internally America needed to establish her own form of
government that did not involve monarchies or
other forms of dictatorships. Economically it
had to establish its own
industrial and
agricultural
base along with securing markets
for their products internationally.
Socially the
United States had to develop new relationships
with each other and the world that was not based
on family relationships. Finally it was faced
with the issue of slavery and the evils that
resulted.
