The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party: Jacksonian Politics and the Onset of the Civil War
Angebote / Angebote:
This book chronologically tells the birth, life, and death of the Whigs, a major American political party that was the country's last and best hope to avert secession. Michael Holt has reconstructed, and recaptured, what politicians - including Andrew Jackson, John C.Calhoun, Henry Clay, William Seward, Daniel Webster, Martin Van Buren, and Abraham Lincoln - thought they were doing and why, to recreate their world as they lived it. The result is an utterly unique
reconstruction of the chain of political developments that triggered southern secession and the subsequent Civil War.
