Then, ao they think,. the new Republic, with the hero of the Revolution as Ita first President, started on Its triumphant career toward becoming what we fondly believe to be the greatest nation on earth. But they know comparatively little of those stormy years which Intervened between the signing of the treaty of peace and the adoption of the Constitution, nrr of the troubled waters through which the new ship of state waa compelled to sail before It reached a safe haven. Least of all do they realize that scarcely was the Revolution over thun these new states, nut yet truly united states even though there waa a federal government, almost had a revolution of their own iiffon their hands. It will be a surprise to many to know that there was a time In the early history of our nation when the people of one section of the country were looking uon those of another as oppressors, Just as much as the Thirteen Colonies had looked upon King George and tils ministers as tyrannical rulers, were threatening to fight for their Independence so tlmt they could set up s union of tliclr own snd were even seeking foreign aid In their project I Yet these are the farts that modern historical scholarship Is hrlnglng to llgltt and giving to Americans a better conception of the many trials through which their nation was borne and the many fnctora Involved In making that nation what it is today. One of the latest of the prod nets of this scholarship Is the hook The KpanMi-Aineriou- n Frontier" by Arthur Preston Whitaker, recently published by the Houghton Mifflin company of Boston, which deals with tills hitherto neglected period in Aiiieriuun history.

When Roosevelt for Inslunee. wrote Ills Winning of the West he could tell but tittle Hint was certain about this ierivl. Now, however. It can be told with greater certainty for Doctor Whitaker, by spending two years ns Amherst Memorial Fellow from Amherst college.

By their own effort! these aattlamenta maintained themselves, receiving from tha foster-parestate little more than tha skeleton of government, which they themaelvea had to Inveat with living substance. The frontiersmen fait that tha Atlantic atatea ware much more interested In western landa than In western people, and that even with tha beat will In thfc world legislatures sitting at Wllllamaburg, Va., and Hillsborough, K. C., ware Incapacitated by remotanaas nnd tha Intervening mountains from giving good government to tha Mississippi valley aettlemanta.

Declaiming In the manner of Fatrlck Henry and 8amuel Adama agalnat tasatlon nnd mlagovernment, tha frontiersmen followed tha process through ita vmrloua stages of conventions, petitions and remonstrances to tha culminating step of n declaration of Independence. At first, however, they sought only what tho Atlantic colonists had at first tried to secure from Ragland: recognition aa autonomous members of a federative empire. This waa tha situation from 1TSI to 17ft. when the Indignation of the frontier waa directed against the Individual state alone and tha frontiersmen professed devotion to congrta. In 1786 the situation assumed a new and dangerous aapect. The frontlermen's Illusion of n beneficent congress waa shattered nnd many of thsm began to question tho advisability of a continued union with tha Atlantic states on any terms whatever. Thla change of aentlment waa due In part to tha resolution of congress authorising tha conclusion of n treaty with Spain that would doss tha Mississippi to American shipping for a generntlcn The "secret" resolution of congress was adopted In August, 17X8. and by tha following December It waa common property In Kentucky. Tha Indignaand they tion of the people there was white-ho- t, protested that they had been sacrificed for the benefit of eastern fishermen snd farmers. Other grievances Increased their Ire against congress. The stata of Franklin had applied for admission to the Cnlon and had been rebuffed Might other frontier communities aspect more friendly treatment? Tha indlnn policy of congree was still more offensive to them. Unable to protect tha Kentuckians against the northern tribes, congress seemed actually to favor the southern Indians over their white neighbors In western North Carolina. Its rommlsslnners negotiated a treaty with tha Cherokee Indiana In Deeemher. 175, that aroused keen resentment in North Carolina and Virginia, not merely among the frontiersmen, but on the Atlantic coast ns well, for It restored to the Indians, under a ncrpetual guarantee, lands granted snd settled under the authority of the state of North Carolina. Tha result was that by the end of 1788 there were many people In the West who were threatening not merely separation from the parent staler on the Atlantic, but secession from the United Slates. It was n longer autonomy, hut outright Indrpendi-nrthat the more radical frontiersmen were planning, and this new phasa of particularism was all tha more datigi-roubecause Its goal was a new union, a Mississippi valley republic.
