Liberty on the Waterfront: American Maritime Culture in the Age of Revolution - Early American Studies
Paul A. Gilje
Talks about what liberty meant to an important group of common men in American society, those who lived and worked on the waterfront and aboard ships. This book shows that the idealized vision of liberty associated with the Founding Fathers had a much more immediate and complex meaning than previously thought.
