About This Book

The author traces the fierce partisan conflicts of the Jacksonian era, detailing successive electoral campaigns, policy disputes, and the development of popular party organization. He examines how forceful personalities, newspaper practices, factional maneuvering, and the social life of the capital shaped political contests, and treats diplomatic quarrels and intra-administration disputes to show how principles and patronage intertwined. Chapters blend political narrative with portraits of leading figures and accounts of the press, theatre, and society to illuminate the era's tactics and ideals, showing how those struggles defined debates over popular leadership, party power, and the scope of democratic government.
