Democratic nations have seldom been created in times of peace, and the United States was no exception. This conference examines the interplay between violence and the political, intellectual, social, and cultural histories of British North America and the United States during the last three-quarters of the eighteenth century. Plenary speakers include Andrew Cayton (Miami University), Patrick Griffin (University of Notre Dame), David Hendrickson (Colorado College) and Peter Onuf (University of Virginia).
