Journal of the Proceedings (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book presents a unique insight into the formation of the United States government, drawing from the first handwritten journal of the legislative council which met in what would become Tennessee in 1794. The journal is a historical record of the formation of the Southwest Territory, providing firsthand accounts of the very first laws passed to organize this newly formed American territory and establish civil government. The author asserts that these documents show that the American government was not created out of a vacuum, but was instead part of a long process of evolution and compromise. This book will appeal to scholars of early American history, legal historians, and anyone interested in the development of the United States government.
