Description

Paul Frymer examines the institutional mechanisms behind 19th-century American westward expansion, arguing that the state actively engineered territorial growth to solidify a white settler nation. This rigorous analysis deconstructs the political and legal frameworks that facilitated the displacement of indigenous populations and the consolidation of federal power.
