The author helps us to understand how in the early 1800s the central US region was still adapting to the government and the new federalist structure that was being established.
Explanation:
The author shows that the changes in the regions that were no longer a colony, to become a federal state, needed a lot of adaptation and patience, but that the cooperation of individuals and the perseverance of great political names, such as Thomas Jefferson and others, was efficient. This adaptation to federalism allowed the regions to be gradually strengthened, but managed to achieve stability and effectiveness.
