The Creation of American Common Law, 1850–1880
Technology, Politics, and the Construction of Citizenship
This book is a comparative study of American legal development in
the mid-nineteenth century. Focusing on Illinois and Virginia, sup-
ported by observations from six additional states, the book traces the
crucial formative moment in the development of an American system
of common law in northern and southern courts. The process of le-
gal development and the form that the basic analytical categories of
American law came to have are explained as the products of different
responses to the challenge of new industrial technologies, particularly
railroads. The nature of those responses was dictated by the ideolo-
gies that accompanied the social, political, and economic orders of the
two regions. American common law, ultimately, is found to express an
emerging model of citizenship, appropriate to modern conditions. As a
result, the process of legal development provides an illuminating per-
spective on the character of American political thought in a formative
period of the nation.
