Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy a fun look at behind-the-scenes politics and personalities in the history of Harrisburg and the Keystone State. Pennsylvania, first home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, has a tradition of political progress. However, along with the good, the political playground of Pennsylvania has also seen the brazenly bad behavior of its political leaders. For over twenty-five years, political columnist John Baer has had a front-row seat to the foibles and follies of the Keystone State's political system. Baer takes readers through his memories of covering state politics for the last quarter century, from Democratic governor Milton Shapp's short-lived run for president--in which he finished behind "no preference" in the Florida primary--to highlights of some of the game-changing campaign missteps and maneuvers that moved administrations in and out of the capital. With a delightfully gruff wit, Baer gives readers a behind-the-scenes view of the politics and personalities that have passed through Harrisburg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflict between the Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian concepts of democracy was nowhere more vigorous or bitter than in Western Pennsylvania during the period when the region evolved from an agrarian to an industrial economy. This book traces the political aspects of this transformation step by step. The region's long allegiance to Jeffersonianism, was in part due to a group of plodding but shrewd politicians who remained in power until well after the War of 1812, before they were succeded by Hamiltonians. Ferguson profiles the major politicians and political events in the region from Revolutionary War times until the 1820s.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1994. In this pathbreaking book Alan Tully offers an unprecedented comparative study of colonial political life and a rethinking of the foundations of American political culture. Tully chooses for his comparison the two colonies that arguably had the most profound impact on American political history—New York and Pennsylvania, the rich and varied colonies at the geographical and ideological center of British colonial America. Fundamental to the book is Tully's argument that out of Anglo-American influences and the cumulative character of each colonial experience, New York and Pennsylvania developed their own distinctive but complementary characteristics. In making this case Tully enters—from a new perspective—the prominent argument between the "classical republican" and "liberal" views of early American public thought. He contends that the radical Whig element of classical republicanism was far less influential than historians have believed and that the political experience of New York and Pennsylvania led to their role as innovators of liberal political concepts and discourse. In a conclusion that pursues his insights into the revolutionary and early republican years, Tully underlines a paradox in American political development: not only were the pathbreaking liberal politicians of New York and Pennsylvania the least inclined towards revolutionary fervor, but their political language and concepts—integral to an emerging liberal democratic order—were rooted in oligarchical political practice. "A momentous contribution to the burgeoning literature on the middle Atlantic region, and to the vexed question of whether it constitutes a coherent cultural configuration. Tully argues persuasively that it does, and his arguments will have to be reckoned with like few that have gone before, even as he develops an array of differences between the two colonies more subtle and penetrating than any of his predecessors has ever put forth."—Michael Zuckerman, University of Pennsylvania.

Excerpt: ... chapter iii Whig Coalition And Democratic Schism v Jackson's relentless course in destroying the Bank served to Bffeot of til Bank war alienate many otherwise "reliant Jacksonites." Many a Democrat, while still adhering to the party, repudiated the strenuous policy of the Dictator. Such a group of disaffected Democrats were by no means insignificant. They seem to have been especially numerous in Philadelphia, where they met frequently to follow the paradoxical course of supporting the Democratic party while denouncing Jackson and upholding the Bank. We have Democrats seen that under the proud name of Independent-Democrats, they ecede from their party served to weaken the power of the Democratic machine in the state. By their negative action, they constituted an element of strength on which the National Republicans counted in subsequent elections. Agreement in sentiment led to agreement in action, and in the autumn of 1833 both party groups were meeting together in the wards of Philadelphia to protest against "the state of things at Washington." Later, they went so far as to unite in forming their city and county tickets. In Southwark, a large joint assemblage instructed their delegates to nominate for Congress none but a decided Anti-Jackson man. Thus, certain Democrats were strengthening the opposition at the expense of their own party. oppotionf Another and smaller group which indirectly aided the Nato jackeoa tional-Republican cause were the "Sons of Hibernia." The "Nationals" made bids for the Irish vote, insisting that "VanBuren, being a Dutchman, scorned an Irishman." "The United States Gazette" spoke of the union of the Democratic-AntiJackson and Irishmen's Ticket, and declared that in the elections of 1832, "the Naturalized...
