520    "How did Americans in the generations following the 
       Declaration of Independence translate its lofty ideals 
       into practice? In this broadly synthetic work, 
       distinguished historian Richard Brown shows that despite 
       its founding statement that "all men are created equal," 
       the early Republic struggled with every form of social 
       inequality. While people paid homage to the ideal of equal
       rights, this ideal came up against entrenched social and 
       political practices and beliefs. Brown illustrates how the
       ideal was tested in struggles over race and ethnicity, 
       religious freedom, gender and social class, voting rights 
       and citizenship. He shows how high principles fared in 
       criminal trials and divorce cases when minorities, women, 
       and people from different social classes faced judgment. 
       This book offers a much-needed exploration of the ways 
       revolutionary political ideas penetrated popular thinking 
       and everyday practice"--|cpublisher's description.
