Summary "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 04, No. 21, July, 1859" by Various is a historical magazine publication written in the mid-19th century. This particular issue features an extensive exploration of the political climate in early America, emphasizing the contentious period surrounding the establishment of the U.S. Constitution and Thomas Paine's significant yet controversial role in it. The magazine delves into themes of party politics, the emergence of Federalist and Anti-Federalist factions, and the evolving nature of democracy and governance in a rapidly changing society. The opening of this edition sets the stage by detailing the intense political factionalism of the United States during the late 18th century. It highlights how the Federalists and Anti-Federalists vehemently contested the principles of governance, with references to significant historical figures and events that shaped public opinion. The text examines the fears and aspirations surrounding the new Constitution, addressing how different societal classes influenced these debates. Further, it introduces Thomas Paine as a pivotal figure whose earlier revolutionary writings brought both admiration and scorn, illustrating the polarization of public sentiment towards his ideas and legacy. This portrayal of early American politics not only contextualizes the actions and ideologies of the time but also reflects on how these historical narratives continue to resonate in modern discussions of democracy and civic engagement.
