Description:  The 1817 diaries of the Yorkshire Quaker Merchant, John Adamson, succinctly observes this crucial period in American democracy.

An Anglo-American Traveller's Diaries will shock, they will disturb, but they will educate. They will place into a historical perspective an era when slavery and racism were integral to the psyche of White America and the fledging independent America struggled to come to terms with its contradictions of lawlessness and liberty.
