In the eighteenth century, magazines were some of the first staging grounds for still-contentious debates on Federalism and states' rights. In the years that followed, the landscape of publications spread in every direction to explore aspects of American life from sports to politics, religion to entertainment, and beyond. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMagazines and the American Experience\u003c\/i\u003e is an expansive and chronological tour of the American magazine from 1733 to the present.
