Martin Van Buren and the Emergence of American Popular Politics

Autorentext
By Joel H. Silbey

Klappentext
In the early part of the nineteenth century, America was skeptical of popular politics, distrustful of political parties, and disdainful of political management. However, as prominent historian Joel H. Silbey demonstrates, Martin Van Buren took the lead among his contemporaries in remolding the old political order as he captured the New York state governorship, a seat in the United States Senate, and ultimately the Presidency. Martin Van Buren and the Emergence of American Popular Politics takes a fresh look at the life and political career of one of America's most often overlooked, yet most influential, public figures.

Zusammenfassung
This is a study of the life and political career of one of America's often overlooked public figures. Martin Van Buren was a one-term president whose public life has been overshadowed by the more fiery personalities of his day, but he was a transforming political figure in American history.
