''The American Democrat: Or, Hints on the Social and Civic Relations of the United States of America'', a political essay written by American republican author James Fenimore Cooper, was published initially in New York State in 1838. Originally intended as a textbook on the American republican democracy, the work analyzes the social forces that shape, and can ultimately corrupt such a system. It served as an indictment of public opinion, which he argued had the potential to corrupt public morals and democracy. Because ''The American Democrat'' did not intrigue the public like a novel would have, it was neither purchased in the United States nor published in Europe.〔Railton (1978)〕 The essay, however, provided the intellectual framework and concepts for two later works of fiction: ''Homeward Bound: or The Chase: A Tale of the Sea'' and ''Home as Found: Sequel to Homeward Bound''. Unlike his previous work where he set out to create American literature, this essay is credited with helping Cooper to establish a new identity as a writer as one who exposed the vices in society.〔Railton (1978), p. 188.〕 ==Inspiration and Context==
