Throes of Democracy: The American Civil War Era 1829-1877 Walter A. Mcdougall
Harper 2008-03-01 0060567511 / 9780060567514 First Edition Hardcover New Hardcover
Ships in a Sturdy Box -- "And then there came a day of fire!" From its shocking curtain-raiser "the conflagration that consumed Lower Manhattan in 1835" to the climactic centennial year of 1876, when Americans staged a corrupt, deadlocked presidential campaign (fought out in Florida), Walter A. McDougall's Throes of Democracy: The American Civil War Era, 1829-1877 throws off sparks like a flywheel. This eagerly awaited sequel to Freedom Just Around the Corner: A New American History, 1585-1828 carries the saga of the American people's continuous self-reinvention from the inauguration of President Andrew Jackson through the eras of Manifest Destiny, Civil War, and Reconstruction, America's first failed crusade to put "freedom on the march" through regime change and nation building.
