~~~~~ Economic History ~~~~~
• The greatest acceleration of Industrial Revolution in England occurred during the period covered by Wood's Empire of Liberty (1789-1815). Next to the steam engine the other paradigmatic industry/technology of the Industrial Revolution was the mechanization of the cotton textiles industry. With this mechanization the demand for the raw material input cotton rose explosively. This had a powerful effect on the regions capable of growing cotton in the United States. A ready source documenting this effect is Douglass C. North, The Economic Growth of the United States: 1790-1860 (1961) [Publisher; Google Books; Amazon.com]. See especially North's discussion of the "Volume of Cotton Exports: 1790-1815" (Chart II-IV and Table B-IV) which shows the explosive growth of cotton produced and exported from the United States; and "Value of Total Exports and Cotton Exports: 1815-1860" (Chart I-VIII and Table A-VIII) which shows that cotton accounts for most of the growth of exports from the United States during that period. So during the period of Wood's Empire of Liberty (1789-1815) the demand for cotton vastly increased, which is associated with the expansion of cotton agriculture westward into the "Deep South" and the demand for slave labor used to man those cotton plantations, the source of which slave labor after 1808 had to come from within the United States, which was supplied by the states of the "Upper South" like Virginia which increasingly specializing in the breeding of and trade in slaves. This economic dynamic of technological innovation and economic change is obvious, massive, and perhaps goes without saying, but Wood doesn't really discuss this, despite the fact that these economic and technological factors lurk behind many of the political, social, and cultural issues he discusses.

• During the mid-1780s creditors holding the debt issued by the Continental Congress and the states during the Revolutionary War period became anxious about an excess of democracy exhibited by state governments/legislatures under the Articles of Confederation. This creditors' anxiety was a major unpublicized motivation of the group (Federalists) that created and implemented the new national government with the Constitution written in 1787. When the new national government began operating in 1789 one of its earliest major actions was its assumption of the states' Revolutionary War debts.

  Some excerpts from this article:
  • "The largest non-agricultural segment was ship building, which was from 5 to 20% of total employment. About 45% of American made ships were sold to foreigners."
  • "By the 18th century, regional patterns of development had become clear: the New England colonies relied on shipbuilding and sailing to generate wealth; plantations (many using slave labor) in Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas grew tobacco, rice, and indigo; and the middle colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware shipped general crops and furs. Except for slaves, standards of living were generally high—higher, in fact, than in England itself."

This was an early milestone at the beginning of the New England textile industry and that industry is the paradigmatic example of the Northers states' manufacturing economy, a diversified economy that prized engineering innovation (Technological and industrial history of the United States: Factories and mills). This is in stark contrast to the Southern states' economy oriented towards commodity agriculture (rice, indigo, tobacco, cotton, sugar) on slave-labor based plantations (plantation era).
