America's Oldest Party: A History of the Democratic Party

Sobre el libro

The Democratic Party is the oldest active political party in the world. This readable, well-referenced history follows it from Jefferson and Madison's coalition of the 1790s and Andrew Jackson's mass democracy to the present: Polk and Manifest Destiny, the slavery split of 1860, War Democrats and the Solid South, Tilden and Cleveland, Bryan's Cross of Gold, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and World War II, Truman's Fair Deal, Kennedy and Johnson's Great Society and civil-rights laws, 1968, Carter, the Clinton years, Barack Obama, and the Biden-Harris era. Profiles of the party's greatest leaders, election tables, chapter references, a full bibliography, a list of Democratic presidents and national conventions, and a timeline. Patriotic, honest and nonpartisan. By Alberto Zaltzberg.
