Could anyone recommend a good book on social history in early America?

I am reading Blackbourn's The Long Nineteenth Century: A History of Germany, 1780-1918 and it is brilliant, but I am wondering if there exists an equivalent for the US. By which I mean, a synthetic history that is a social history with strong focus on consumption, wages, labor, gender, race, and economic history. My preference would actually be a bit earlier (1770s-1810s), but any book inclusive of those dates would be good.
