This book describes the southern Republicans' post- Civil War railroad aid program--the central element of the Gospel of Prosperity" designed to reestablish a vigorous economy in the devastated South.

Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion: The Making of a President, 1884
ISBN: 9780807848494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The presidential election of 1884, in which Grover Cleveland ended the Democrats' twenty-four-year presidential drought by defeating Republican challenger James G. Blaine, was one of the gaudiest in American history, remembered today less for its political significance than for the mudslinging and slander that characterized the campaign. But a closer look at the infamous election reveals far more complexity than previous stereotypes allowed, argues Mark Summers. Behind all the mud and malarkey, he says, lay a world of issues and consequences.
Summers suggests that both Democrats and... The presidential election of 1884, in which Grover Cleveland ended the Democrats' twenty-four-year presidential drought by defeating Republican challe...

A Dangerous Stir: Fear, Paranoia, and the Making of Reconstruction
ISBN: 9781469620152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Reconstruction policy after the Civil War, observes Mark Wahlgren Summers, was shaped not simply by politics, principles, and prejudices. Also at work were fears--often unreasonable fears of renewed civil war and a widespread sense that four years of war had thrown the normal constitutional process so dangerously out of kilter that the republic itself remained in peril.
To understand Reconstruction, Summers contends, one must understand that the purpose of the North's war was--first and foremost--to save the Union with its republican institutions intact. During Reconstruction there... Reconstruction policy after the Civil War, observes Mark Wahlgren Summers, was shaped not simply by politics, principles, and prejudices. Also at work...

The Press Gang: Newspapers and Politics, 1865-1878
ISBN: 9780807844465 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Relations between the press and politicians in modern America have always been contentious. In The Press Gang, Mark Summers tells the story of the first skirmishes in this ongoing battle. Following the Civil War, independent newspapers began to separate themselves from partisan control and assert direct political influence. The first investigative journalists uncovered genuine scandals such as those involving the Tweed Ring, but their standard practices were often sensational, as editors and reporters made their reputations by destroying political figures, not by carefully...

Party Games: Getting, Keeping, and Using Power in Gilded Age Politics
ISBN: 9780807855379 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Much of late-nineteenth-century American politics was parade and pageant. Voters crowded the polls, and their votes made a real difference on policy. In Party Games, Mark Wahlgren Summers tells the full story and admires much of the political carnival, but he adds a cautionary note about the dark recesses: vote-buying, election-rigging, blackguarding, news suppression, and violence.
Summers also points out that hardball politics and third-party challenges helped make the parties more responsive. Ballyhoo did not replace government action. In order to maintain power, major parties... Much of late-nineteenth-century American politics was parade and pageant. Voters crowded the polls, and their votes made a real difference on policy. ...
