NCHE PowerPoint Presentation 2023<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The so-called Critical Period<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

StatutesandStories.com is proud to present the following PowerPoint presentation at the National Council for History Education (NCHE) 2023 Conference:<\/p>\n

The so-called Critical Period: Freedom from Anarchy and Chaos; Freedom to Federalism and Order<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The theme for the 2023 NCHE Conference is “Freedom from Freedom To<\/em>.”\u00a0 The PowerPoint examines the Critical Period from 1783-1789, telling the story of the forces dividing\/unifying the new nation after the Treaty of Paris.<\/p>\n

Copied below is an abstract of the presentation along with images of the PowerPoint slides, which are available upon request:<\/p>\n

Following the Revolutionary War, the newly independent states attempted to translate the lofty concepts of the Declaration of Independence into action. This process was easier said than done. During the so-called Critical Period (1783-1789), the fiercely independent states confronted foundational issues of individual liberty versus governmental power. Ultimately, the Critical Period concluded when George Washington was sworn in as President under the new Constitution. While early historians focused on lawlessness and economic challenges during this chaotic period, modern historians acknowledge accomplishments under the Articles of Confederation. What can we learn from America\u2019s early struggle between anarchy and order?<\/p>\n

The Powerpoint discusses early laws passed by the Confederation Congress, the failed requisition process, the proposed Impost of 1781 and 1783, Alexander Hamilton’s Continentalist<\/em> essays, correspondence by the founding fathers and mothers, and other primary sources. Please be patient to allow the slides to download, depending on your internet connection.<\/p>\n
