The New England States: People, Politics, and Power in the Six New England States

This book is about the New England States, part of a series covering the story of each major geographical region and also of all of the 50 states of America in that time. The objective is to simply let readers know something of the profound diversity of people, their lifestyles, geographic habitat and political behavior that made America one of the most fascinating nations on earth.

New England, America’s oldest region, is to America what Old England is to the English speaking world: the womb and the starting place; the fountainhead of a culture’s language, law, and learning: the smaller geographic entity from which great spaces were colonized.

In his chapters on “People, Politics and Power”, author Neal Peirce finds stories of striking human and political progress, unfulfilled potential, and the United States’ most smug, vindictive political culture.
