Siry, Steven E.: De Witt Clinton and the American Political Economy

Sectionalism, Politics, and Republican Ideology, 1787-1828. This study places the career of De Witt Clinton within the context of sectional politics and the ideological debate over republicanism. In particular, this volume demonstrates that a «practical republicanism» characterized Clinton's approach to politics. Refuting a traditional republican tenet, he believed commerce, manufacturing, and agriculture were equally important for the economic growth and prosperity of New York and the nation. Clinton's reinterpreted republicanism primarily developed from the special social and economic conditions of New York and was at variance with the «country» ideology of southern Republicans.
