Abstract
In this essay, the author “outlines a regional and comparative history of the emergence of North American nation-states during the mid-nineteenth century, attempting to highlight common challenges and solutions—and reciprocal influences—between the region’s distinct countries.” It analyzes the “successive ‘constitutional pacts’ that governed the difficult adaptation of the North American peoples to the demands of liberal capitalism and representative government.” Mijangos observes that the US and Mexico experienced “constitutional revolution,” while Canadians, who experienced neither civil war nor a revolution of independence, arrived at a similar place in the 1860s by a distinctive, more gradual process.
