Why did the founding fathers turn back to England for a commercial treaty so soon after forming a new nation? Estes (history, Oakland U.) gathers a wide variety of primary sources from some rather unusual places and examines the reactions of crowds new to being part of a democracy, commentators not used to being heard, and legislators and diplomats not used to being either. As he chronicles how the nation remarked, debated, and fought over whether the Jay Treaty should be passed, aligning America once again with a superpower, Estes teaches readers, among other things, how persuasive Federalists can be.
