Description

What So Proudly We Hailed looks at this period in American history through the lens of 21st century America. This book asks, What did America learn and not learn from the experience? How did it help shape a nation? With Congress divided along party lines, the U.S. government went to war without adequately preparing means to finance the conflict or capabilities needed to achieve its aims. Like the United States two hundred years ago, the executive branch still suffers from in-fighting. The military invades a foreign nation, expecting to be treated as liberators. The entire endeavor winds down to an inconclusive ending. By 2003, America was waging two wars at once, at vast expense. Neither was financed by tax increases but instead with borrowed money like in 1812 when the "Republican" party's reluctance to use the government's taxing power led to expanded debt and inadequate funding for the war. In this book, the contributors view how Partisan animosity in 1812 surpassed today's rancor, teaching us the danger of hyperpartisanship and the less obvious tendency of the party system to adapt and realign. The Federalist-Republican competition that dominated early U.S. politics dissipated in the war's aftermath. We take today's partisan divide as a given, but that is likely to pass. Historian Alan Taylor examines the war's sectional tensions and the implications for American nationalism. Historian Peter J. Kastor discusses how 1812-15 affected state-federal relations. Author Stephen Budiansky explores military legacy. Pietro Nivola assesses partisan rivalry of early 1800s and what it can tell us about today's strife. Benjamin Wittes and Ritika Singh investigate constitutional frictions regarding presidential power and civil liberties.
