Affairs of Party by Jean H Baker
An exploration of the way in which the Northern Democrats of the mid-19th century lived their public lives. The author begins with an explanation of how people became Democrats, and goes on to discuss topics including the Democratic ideology, and their mordant rascism and partisan behaviour.
"This is a bold and imaginative book, and its reach is wideThere is nothing like it in contemporary political historiography and it will have a major impact on the way American historians think about the politics of the period." -- -Joel Sibey Cornell University "Baker's work [is] a welcome complement to studies of 19th-century political culture... Her analysis is both original and provocative." -Choice
