The Birth of the Grand Old Party: The Republicans' First GenerationRobert F. Engs, Randall M. Miller University of Pennsylvania Press, 30. 12. 2011 - 216 strán (strany) The period from 1850 to 1876 was the most transformative era in American history. During the course of this tumultuous quarter century Americans fought a bloody civil war, tried to settle the issue of state versus central government power, recognized the dominance of the new industrial economy over the older agricultural one, and ended slavery, long the shame of the nation. At the same time, a major political realignment occurred with the collapse of the "second American party system" and the emergence of a new party, the Republicans. |
