Summary
"The book is a historical study of Pennsylvania politics from 1817 until 1832. It is divided into two parts: the first describes the social, economic and political life of the Commonwealth in 1817; the second tells a connected story of the political struggles in the state over a fifteen year period. This period constitutes a distinct era. It opens with the crumbling of old national party lines, develops through a decade of flux and disorder, and culminates in a social and political revolution which creates a new partisan division based on new national issues."
