Billthedrill and I have agreed on tackling Tocqueville's Democracy in America next. We're not sure about the timeline at this point.

". . . agreed on tackling Tocqueville's Democracy in America next. . . . "

That's great! His work coincides with the time frame of the JQA "Jubilee" and provides a look at the American experiment from a European's vantage point. That will be an interesting study.

In an earlier post, I discussed Edmund Burke's 1775 "Speech on Conciliation" and how favorably he analyzed the amazing progress of the colonists in America as to its economic explosion, as well as its "spirit of liberty" and its efforts to rid itself of the slave trade. Too bad that America's historians have not made Burke's analysis and that of Tocqueville more prominent in the nation's textbooks and studies of history.
