Creating the Culture of Reform in Antebellum America Book

Pretty special interest - I'm working on the Canada/US borderlands, so obviously relevant to my continued research. This is all about the Eastern Townships when they were populated almost entirely by settlers from New England (and some Scots and Irish), and what was happening there during the War of 1812 and the rebellion years of the 1830s. Lot of detail, really surprisingly a lot of detail for a hundred-page book. I was surprised at the argument that there really wasn't much of a "British North American" identity forming until as late as the 1830s/40s. I'm also interested in this idea that Vermont just had a lot more social and cultural "tumult" and that caused a deepening of the border difference.
