The Rise of American Democracy: Slavery and the Crisis of American Democracy, 1840-1860
Ferocious clashes among the Founders over the role of ordinary citizens in a government of we, the people were eventually resolved in the triumph of Andrew Jackson. Thereafter, Sean Wilentz shows, a fateful division arose between two starkly opposed democracies-a division contained until the election of Abraham Lincoln sparked its bloody resolution. The College Edition features a new preface and further reading lists for each volume. It eliminated the endnotes of the one-volume edition but preserves the entire text of the original.
