| Summary | "Gouverneur Morris" by Theodore Roosevelt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides a biographical narrative of Gouverneur Morris, who was a prominent figure during the American Revolution and contributed significantly to the formation of the United States Constitution. The book emphasizes his role in pivotal events such as his involvement in the Provincial Congress and his views during the revolution, highlighting the complexities of American politics and society during this transformative period. The opening of the narrative introduces Morris's early life in colonial New York, setting the stage for his eventual political career. It paints a vivid picture of the societal landscape of the time, detailing his aristocratic background and education. As the introduction unfolds, it discusses the tensions leading up to the American Revolution and Morris's initial ambivalence towards extreme democratic ideas. The text sets an engaging tone as it outlines the challenges faced by Morris and his contemporaries amidst the burgeoning revolutionary fervor, making it clear that the struggle for independence was as much a conflict of ideals as it was a fight against tyranny.
