The Grand Old Party: A History of the Republican Party

Sobre el libro

Born in 1854 to stop the spread of slavery, the Republican Party elected Abraham Lincoln, preserved the Union and wrote freedom into the Constitution. This readable, well-referenced history follows the Grand Old Party from the anti-Nebraska meetings of 1854 to the present: Lincoln and the Civil War, Reconstruction and the first Black members of Congress, the Gilded Age and McKinley's realignment of 1896, Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose split, Coolidge and Hoover, the wilderness years, Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon and Watergate, the Reagan Revolution, the Contract with America, the Bush years, the Tea Party and the Trump era. Profiles of the party's greatest leaders, election tables, chapter references, a full bibliography, a list of Republican presidents and national conventions, and a timeline. Patriotic, honest and nonpartisan. By Alberto Zaltzberg.
