| Research Interests for Reeve Huston
Research Interests:
My research focuses on the emergence of two-party democracy in the United States--a process that took place between the 1790s and the 1840s. My current book project examines the origins of Jacksonian democracy. I also think and write about social and political conflicts over the distribution of land in North America during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. - Areas of Interest:
- American political history
American rural history American social history American labor history American reform movements Early American republic Antebellum U.S.
