A House Dividing

Marcus Cunliffe

0/5 ( ratings)

" This people is one of the happiest in the world," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville of American society in 1832. Impressed by the absence of poverty and by the general equality of condition he painted a picture of a proud, expanding, self-confident democracy. Yet Tocqueville was doubtful whether the Union could hold together permanently. It was menaced particularly, he believed, by the vast chages taking place in the relative strength of its consitituent sections. The northern states were increasing in population and wealth much more rapidly than the southern states.
