To a certain extent, this is accurate. Yet national allegiance was emerging only slowly in the late eighteenth century, and these men still held strong loyalties to their states and regions. This study of Wolcott's life affirms that nationalism was strongly tempered with sectionalism. A second leading aspect of Wolcott's life, and this period, was the commitment to a mercantilist future...."
