The Rise of American Democracy: The Crisis of the New Order 1787-1815

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Ferocious clashes among the Founders over the role of ordinary citizens in a government of we, the people were eventually resolved in the triumph of Andrew Jackson. Thereafter, Sean Wilentz shows, a fateful division arose between two starkly opposed democracies--a division contained until the election of Abraham Lincoln sparked its bloody resolution. The College Edition features a new preface and further reading lists for each volume. It eliminated the endnotes of the one-volume edition but preserves the entire text of the original.
