I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's well written and keenly observed. Trollope has a sense of humor and is very good at recording conversation. The physical descriptions bring to life the landscape and life of the early 19th century.
Much time has passed since her visit, but anyone who thinks for a minute will still recognize some typically American traits. The very fact that people still get their backs up about criticisms from 180 years ago confirms one of her biggest criticisms. I'm glad the tobacco spitting is no more, and that women are no longer segregated from men in social situations. I have a feeling the gender segregation was mostly confined to what was then the western frontier in Ohio, where Trollope spent most of her time.

yet, she was looking so mighty, and so unsubdued all the time, that I could not help fancying she would some day take the matter into her own hands again, and if so, farewell to New Orleans.

I hardly know any annoyance so deeply repugnant to English feelings, as the incessant, remorseless spitting of Americans.

I speak not of these, but of the population generally, as seen in town and country, among the rich and the poor, in the slave states, and the free states. I do not like them. I do not like their principles, I do not like their manners, I do not like their opinions.
