Atkins provides a fresh look at the partisan ideological battles that marked the political culture of antebellum Tennessee. He argues that the legacy of party politics was a key factor in shaping Tennessee's hesitant course during the crisis of Union in 1860-61. No previous book has so clearly detailed the role of party politics and ideology in Tennessee's early history. As Atkins shows, the ideological debate helps to explain not only the character and survival of Tennessee's party system but also the persistent strength of unionism in a state that ultimately joined the Southern cause. 651 0 $a Tennessee $x Politics and government $y To 1865. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Tennessee $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Political parties $z Tennessee $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Sectionalism (United States) 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0a4b0-aa 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227033711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=179CDCA4AED411E1BB28B5CE6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
