Nationalism in Early American Geographies: 1784-1845

There existed clear demonstrations of nationalism in geography textbooks written by Americans during two significant epochs in the history of the United States. Geographies regarded the environment, people or institutions of the United States either with extreme adulation or subtle pride. They viewed the nation favorably when its strengths and weaknesses were compared to each other or to foreign elements, even when objective evidence did not support such an assessment. And, finally, they reached a host of young and impressionable Americans, and instilled in them a fervor for their country. © 1970 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
