Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Gillespie Blaine No man who has borne a conspicuous part in the political history of the United States had a personality more interesting than that of James G. Blaine. He possessed all the qualities that draw men to a political leader: a keen, active mind, well-trained by early education and ripened by long experience; a strong and comprehensive grasp of public questions; unwavering devotion to principles espoused in boyhood and held to the last; great skill in the selection of points of attack and defence in political controversy, and in the management of a canvass; remarkable facility in putting in popular form his arguments upon a question at issue, supplemented by extraordinary readiness in off-hand debate. The traits enumerated excite admiration for him who possesses them, and inspire confidence in him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Trial of Democracy written by Xi Wang and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, Republicans teamed with activist African Americans to protect black voting rights through innovative constitutional reforms--a radical transformation of southern and national political structures. The Trial of Democracy is a comprehensive analysis of both the forces and mechanisms that led to the implementation of black suffrage and the ultimate failure to maintain a stable northern constituency to support enforcement on a permanent basis. The reforms stirred fierce debates over the political and constitutional value of black suffrage, the legitimacy of racial equality, and the proper sharing of power between the state and federal governments. Unlike most studies of Reconstruction, this book follows these issues into the early twentieth century to examine the impact of the constitutional principles and the rise of Jim Crow. Tying constitutional history to party politics, The Trial of Democracy is a vital contribution to both fields.
Book Synopsis James G. Blaine and Latin America by : David Healy
Download or read book James G. Blaine and Latin America written by David Healy and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James G. Blaine was one of the leading national political figures of his day, and probably the most controversial. Intensely partisan, the dominant leader of the Republican Party, and a major shaper of national politics for more than a decade, Blaine is remembered chiefly for his role as architect of the post-Civil War GOP and his two periods as secretary of state. He also was the Republican presidential candidate in the notorious mud-slinging campaign of 1884. His foreign policy was marked by its activism, its focus on Latin America, and its attempt to increase U.S. influence there.
Book Synopsis The Death of Reconstruction by : Heather Cox Richardson
Download or read book The Death of Reconstruction written by Heather Cox Richardson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of Reconstruction on Southerners' persistent racism. Heather Cox Richardson argues instead that class, along with race, was critical to Reconstruction's end. Northern support for freed blacks and Reconstruction weakened in the wake of growing critiques of the economy and calls for a redistribution of wealth. Using newspapers, public speeches, popular tracts, Congressional reports, and private correspondence, Richardson traces the changing Northern attitudes toward African-Americans from the Republicans' idealized image of black workers in 1861 through the 1901 publication of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. She examines such issues as black suffrage, disenfranchisement, taxation, westward migration, lynching, and civil rights to detect the trajectory of Northern disenchantment with Reconstruction. She reveals a growing backlash from Northerners against those who believed that inequalities should be addressed through working-class action, and the emergence of an American middle class that championed individual productivity and saw African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity. The Death of Reconstruction offers a new perspective on American race and labor and demonstrates the importance of class in the post-Civil War struggle to integrate African-Americans into a progressive and prospering nation.
