The Political Culture of the American Whigs, Paperback / softback Book

The Political Culture of the American Whigs Paperback / softback

Part of the Emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith series

Paperback / softback

Description

Howe studies the American Whigs with the thoroughness so often devoted their party rivals, the Jacksonian Democrats.

He shows that the Whigs were not just a temporary coalition of politicians but spokesmen for a heritage of political culture received from Anglo-American tradition and passed on, with adaptations, to the Whigs' Republican successors.

He relates this culture to both the country's economic conditions and its ethnoreligious composition.
