Grund, who was a German immigrant to the United States, offers a unique perspective on American culture, politics, and social structures.The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of American society. In the first part, Grund examines the moral character of Americans, discussing topics such as religion, education, and family life. He argues that Americans are a deeply moral people, but that their moral code is often shaped by practical considerations rather than strict religious or philosophical principles.The second part of the book is devoted to American social relations. Grund discusses the role of women in American society, the state of race relations, and the nature of American democracy. He argues that while America is a democratic society, it is also deeply divided along social and economic lines.The final part of the book focuses on American politics. Grund discusses the structure of the American government, the role of political parties, and the state of American political culture. He argues that while American democracy is imperfect, it is still the best system of government in the world.Overall, The Americans: In Their Moral, Social And Political Relations is a fascinating and insightful look at early American society.
