English Society, Manners and Politics in the United States Being a Series of Letters on North America Produced by Richard Tonsing, Steven Gibbs and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Society, Manners and Politics in the United States" by Michel Chevalier is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work is structured as a series of letters that reflect Chevalier's observations and analyses of American society, politics, and the economic environment during his travels across the United States. Chevalier presents his insights into various institutions and cultural practices, offering readers a window into the complexities and characteristics of American life during that period. At the start of the book, the introduction outlines the evolution of civilizations from the East to the West and sets the stage for the examination of the American landscape. Chevalier reflects on the merging of two major civilizations and the emerging identity of the United States, identifying its unique position between Europe and Asia. In the opening letters, he discusses the importance of railroads to the industrial development of the nation, sharing his admiration for the English railroad systems and comparing them to the nascent infrastructure in France. The opening portion lays the groundwork for the broader themes of economic progress and political identity that Chevalier explores throughout his letters.
