He brings to life the era after the American Revolution, when the idea of democracy remained contentious, and Jeffersonians and Federalists clashed over the role of ordinary citizens in government of, by, and for the people. The triumph of Andrew Jackson soon defined this role on the national level, while city democrats, Anti-Masons, fugitive slaves, and a host of others hewed their own local definitions. In these definitions Wilentz recovers the beginnings of a discontent--two starkly opposed democracies, one in the North and another in the South--and the wary balance that lasted until the election of Abraham Lincoln sparked its bloody resolution.--From publisher description. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1783-1865. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Politicians $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Politicians $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1783-1865. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0035222 650 6 $a PreÌsidents $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0178650 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $y 18e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 650 6 $a PreÌsidents $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0178650 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $y 19e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 650 6 $a Hommes politiques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0276784 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $y 18e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 650 6 $a Hommes politiques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0276784 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $y 19e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1700-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wilentz, Sean. $t Rise of American democracy. $b Abridged college ed. $d New York : W.W.
