Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Presidential Campaign of 1860 Presidential campaigns in the United States are great popular debates, in which different sections of the country and different political parties join in discussing concrete propositions of national policy from various points of view, and sometimes pass judgments of far-reaching importance ; almost invariably, the contests, with their divergent moods and appeals, well merit close study. Yet, strangely enough, they have hitherto been neglected as subjects for historical investigation, so that the present volume, as far as the author´s knowledge extends, is the first serious work done in the field. My attention was first directed to the war elections by Professor Edward Channing, to whom I am glad to render cordial thanks. The publication of the party platforms in the Appendix is self-explanatory ; the four typical campaign speeches, hitherto not readily accessible, are printed because of the valuable light which they throw on the arguments offered to the people in the crisis.
