Copperheads : The Rise And Fall Of Lincoln’s Opponents In The North

Attribution
Jennifer L. Weber
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Weber reveals how the Copperheads came perilously close to defeating Lincoln and ending the war in the South’s favor. Passionate defenders of civil liberties and states’ rights–and often virulent racists–the Copperheads deplored Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, his liberal interpretation of the Constitution, and, most vehemently, his moves toward emancipation. Finally, Weber illuminates the role of Union soldiers, who, furious at Copperhead attacks on the war effort, moved firmly behind Lincoln. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Party Of The People : A History Of The Democrats

Attribution
Jules Witcover
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2003
Description
After more than two centuries of sometimes stormy, always intriguing history, the Democratic Party of the United States survives as the oldest political organization in the world. In Party of the People, veteran political chronicler Jules Witcover traces the Democratic Party?s evolution, from its roots in the agrarian, individualistic concepts of Thomas Jefferson to its emergence as today?s progressive party of social change and economic justice. First called, oddly enough, the Republican Party but later known as the Democratic-Republican Party and eventually the Democratic Party, this creature of Jefferson and James Madison evolved from an early ideological and personal struggle with the commerce-minded Alexander Hamilton.

It’s not pretty to watch a candidate who dreams of flying on Air Force One bump his head on a luggage bin on a small commuter jet, but it can be pretty funny.
