Letters from Charles Nisbet to William Young, 1794-95

Dickinson President Charles Nisbet writes six letters to William Young from 1794 to 1795 that focus mostly on international affairs and political issues. Nisbet expresses worry over potential military conflict between the United States and Great Britain, and reflects upon the French Revolution. "I dread the ruin of our federal government... as the object of the democratic societies is evidently to destroy the authority of Congress, & to render it subject to the mob, like the National Convention of France," as Nisbet explains. Transcripts included.
