Publisher Synopsis
"This history of the abolitionist movement in the United States focuses on the successes and failures of the movement within the electoral arena and, upon the electoral success of the Republican Party and the outbreak of the Civil War, within the political arena of government. It thus looks at the failures of the Liberty Party and the Free Soil Party/Free Democrats to achieve successes as third parties due to the nature of the American political system, party strategies, and political exigencies and the contrasting success of the more internally coherent Republicans to become a replacement second party for the Whigs, partly due to an atmosphere where Northerners felt more threatened by the Slave Power than in prior times and partly because they had a broader range of issues with which to attract supporters." - Reference & Research Book News Read more...
