The Democratic Dilemma seeks to explain Vermonters' extraordinary
faith and idealism. It argues that Vermonters, as the most radical
democrats of the Age of Revolution and conservators of New
England's traditions, faced a dilemma: how to reconcile their
commitment to competition, toleration, and popular sovereignty with
their desire to defend an orderly and pious way of life. By
embedding democratic ideals in their institutions and their
society. Denominations and political parties clashed, townspeople
and church members proved ungovernable, and young people grew
wayward and rebellious. An economic and demographic crisis in the
1830s and 1840s compounded these problems by denying many
inhabitants what they wanted most independent shops and farms for
themselves and their descendants. None of these problems could he
solved without restraining spiritual, political, and economic
freedom and compromising the principles of Vermont's revolution.
