Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public Men and Events, Vol. 1: From the Commencement of Mr. Monroe´s Administration, in 1817, to the Close of Mr. Fillmore´s Administration, in 1853 It is well known to the people of the United States generally, and to the public men of the country especially, that from 1825 to 1853, and even eight years later, was a period of very exciting political conflicts, during which many great questions of public policy, and important measures involving the vital interests of the nation, came before Congress and underwent searching, able, and not unfrequently acrimonious discussion in the Senate and House of Representatives. And the names of prominent men of that day in whose hands were the destinies of the nation - John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, Thomas H. Benton, Horace Binney, John Sergeant, John Davis, John M. Clayton, Thomas Ewing, Lewis Cass, James Buchanan, Silas Wright, George McDuffie, James K. Polk, William L. Marcy, and a hundred others - are even now familiar as household words to the American people. But precisely what those great questions and measures were, how they arose, what were the principles involved, and the parts taken by the leaders of the two parties contending against each other, very few now upon the stage of action have any very definite idea. During the period named, party spirit ran high, and party contests were carried on with great virulence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
