- How did the republican ideas of the Revolutionary era shape American society and culture in the late 18th and early 19th centuries? What regional differences in the social development of republicanism emerged? How can we account for these differences?
- What is the relationship between America’s republican culture and the surge of evangelism called the Second Great Awakening? In what ways are the goals of the two movements similar? How are they different?
