Affairs of Honor: National Politics in the New Republic

Joanne B. Freeman reconstructs the political culture of the early United States through its demanding code of honor. Public speeches, private correspondence, newspaper attacks, physical confrontations, and duels formed a shared language through which political leaders defended reputation and tested one another's character. By recovering those rules, Freeman makes the new republic's volatile politics legible and shows why personal conflict could carry national consequences.
