## About this book

In Tied to Their Country, Volume 1, historian Rebecca Shimoni Stoil examines the profound political shifts triggered by the Farm Crisis of the 1970s and 1980s. This history book explores how the collapse of rural economies, characterized by bank failures and the decline of small towns, created a political vacuum in rural America. As federal solutions failed to reach struggling agricultural communities, disparate groups coalesced around a shared ideology of anti-federalism.

The text traces the evolution of rural political culture from an agricultural emergency to a widespread movement of anti-government militancy. By analyzing the intersection of agrarian activism and social conservatism, Tied to Their Country, Volume 1, illustrates how resentment toward federal institutions became deeply rooted in the American heartland. This work provides a critical historical perspective on the origins of modern rural distrust and the lasting impact of the Farm Crisis on United States political landscapes.
