An alternate American political tradition

One defended and advocated by Dr. Clyde Wilson and others...

The Works of John Taylor of Caroline


A portrait from 1822.
The Papers of John C. Calhoun

I have one volume of the former, and am considering getting the latter. What else would I read to get a better insight into a republicanism that is properly centered on the states? How many Americans really care about reading works such as these, or the debate between the Federalists and the anti-Federalists?

Contrasting Themes in the Political Theories of Jefferson, Calhoun, and John Taylor of Caroline, by C. William Hill
