This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professor Laborlaye the Great Friend of America, on the Presidential Election For the Union, for America, it is a question of Life or Death. Mr. Lincoln represents a policy the most compact. It is comprised in two words: Maintenance of the Union, the abotion of slavery, all the rest is merely accessory, and can easily be modified according to circumstances. Mr. McClellan protests his devotion to the Union, his desire to re-establish concord and peace; but these are general phrases which conceal the real thought of the party. At bottom, the policy of McClellan is not less defined than that of his rival. To him who knows how to construe the device on his banner, it means - Re-establishment of Union such as may be, Slavery continuing a domestic question, that is slavery continuing. To end a bloody strife and restore peace by replastering at whatever cost the old edifice of the Union, such are the promises of the General; they are not dazzling; one must reckon upon the miseries of prolonged war; on the sufferings of trade on the weariness of men's spirits, to venture to propose to the American People conditions so depressing. They would not have been offered two years ago. But even these promises moderate as they may be, the General, become President', will not be able to fulfill. The force of events will be more powerful than the dream of a candidate. Without the gift of phophecy it may be affirmed that Mr. McClellan will not control the freshet he desires to let loose. The success of the General is the upholding of Slavery; and the upholding of Slavery is the abdication of the North and the triumph of the South. There is the danger that menaces the Union. For all friends of America and of freedom, it is a duty to point this out. Why does the South secede? Is it on a question of tariffs - a difference of race, or of creed? No; all these fine pretences have been imagined to blind Europe, and those who invented them have been the first to laugh at our credulity. During thirty years or more the South has ruled the Union, It is the policy of the South that has been the policy of the United States; there have been no Presidents but those who have had the support of the South. How is it that the South has been able to wield this preponderant influence? The answer is easy. The South has strengthened itself through one of the parties existing at the North.

Book Synopsis The Real Making of the President by : W. J. Rorabaugh
Download or read book The Real Making of the President written by W. J. Rorabaugh and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Kennedy won the presidency in 1960, he also won the right to put his own spin on the victory-whether as an underdog's heroic triumph or a liberal crusader's overcoming special interests. Now W. J. Rorabaugh cuts through the mythology of this famous election to explain the nuts-and-bolts operations of the campaign and offer a corrective to Theodore White's flawed classic, The Making of the President. War hero, champion of labor, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, JFK was long on charisma. Despite a less than liberal record, he assumed the image of liberal hero-thanks to White and other journalists who were shamelessly manipulated by the Kennedy campaign. Rorabaugh instead paints JFK as the ideological twin of Nixon and his equal as a bare-knuckled politician, showing that Kennedy's hard-won, razor-thin victory was attributable less to charisma than to an enormous amount of money, an effective campaign organization, and television image-making. The 1960 election, Rorabaugh argues, reflects the transition from the dominance of old-style boss and convention politics to the growing significance of primaries, race, and especially TV-without which Kennedy would have been neither nominated nor elected. He recounts how JFK cultivated delegates to the 1960 Democratic convention; quietly wooed the still-important party bosses; and used a large personal organization, polls, and TV advertising to win primaries. JFK's master stroke, however, was choosing as a running mate Lyndon Johnson, whose campaigning in the South carried enough southern states to win the election. On the other side, Rorabaugh draws on Nixon's often-ignored files to take a close look at his dysfunctional campaign, which reflected the oddities of a dark and brooding candidate trapped into defending the Eisenhower administration. Yet the widely detested Nixon won almost as many votes as the charismatic Kennedy, even though Democrats outnumberd Republicans by three to two. This leads Rorabaugh to reexamine the darker side of the election: the Republicans' charges of vote fraud in Illinois and Texas, the use of money to prod or intimidate, manipulation of the media, and the bulldozing of opponents. White and others helped shape persisting impressions of both candidates, influencing the way Nixon conducted subsequent campaigns and the Democrats nurtured the Kennedy legacy. The Real Making of the President gives us a more sobering look at all of that, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of one of the nation's most memorable elections.
Book Synopsis The First Modern Clash over Federal Power by : Lewis L. Gould
Download or read book The First Modern Clash over Federal Power written by Lewis L. Gould and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully examined for the first time in this engrossing book by one of America's preeminent presidential scholars, the election that pitted Woodrow Wilson against Charles Evan Hughes emerges as a clear template for the partisan differences of the modern era. The 1916 election dramatically enacted the two parties' fast-evolving philosophies about the role and reach of federal power. Lewis Gould reveals how, even more than in the celebrated election of 1912, the parties divided along class-based lines in 1916, with the Wilson campaign in many respects anticipating the New Deal while the Republicans adopted the small government, anti-union, and anti-regulation positions they have embraced ever since. The Republicans dismissed Wilson's 1912 win as a fluke, the result of Theodore Roosevelt's “Progressive” apostasy splitting the party. But in US Supreme Court Justice Hughes, whose electoral prowess had been proven in two successful runs for governor of New York, the Republicans had anointed a flawed campaigner whose missteps in California sealed his fate very late in the election. Wilson's strong performance as the head of a united Democratic government (for the first time since 1894), along with Americans' uncertainty about the outbreak of war in Europe, led to victory. Along with the ins and outs of the race itself, Gould's book explores the election's broader meaning—as, for the first time, the popular election of the Senate coincided with a presidential election, and the women's suffrage movement gathered steam. The year 1916 also marked the restoration of a two-party competition for president and, as we see in this enlightening book, the beginning of the two-party battle for the hearts and minds of Americans that continues to this day.
