Interests: US political, cultural, and intellectual history I am currently working on a book titled "The Gift Outright: The West, the South, and America, 1867-1937." At 1865, Americans seeking to realize their ambition of a continental nation had to win the West and to reconstruct the South. The U.S. Congress sketched a plan for each region, channeling resources to the development of these sections. Within two decades of their implementation, both plans failed on their merits, and backfired politically too. Through the New Deal, these failures, and both parties' scramble to establish dominance in the newly incorporated sections, shaped the nation.
