Reviews

How is it, Padraig Riley asks, that the most radical democratic elements of U.S. political life joined with slaveholders to create the first American party system? Joining a wave of recent scholarship focused on the 'forgotten' period between the Revolutionary and antebellum eras, Riley looks beyond the usual suspects to uncover an unlikely and fascinating cast of characters, shedding new insight on early American politics. An important contribution to the literature on the politics of slavery in the early American republic. -Francois Furstenberg, Johns Hopkins University
