The first mass political parties appeared in the United States in
the 1830's, as the majority of adult white males identified
ardently with the Democratic and Whig parties. Ronald Formisano
opens a window on American political culture in this case study of
antebellum voting and party formation in Michigan. Examining the
social bases of voter commitment and the dynamics of grass roots
loyalties from Jackson to Lincoln, he proposes that the forming of
parties had little to do with issues of political economy, but
rather with value conflicts generated by the evangelicals'
promotion of a moral society. Borrowing from other disciplines, and
elaborating some of the analytical techniques used by Lee Benson in
The Concept of Jacksonian Democracy, Professor Formisano studies
demographic and voting data to determine patterns of partisan
loyalty. His study throws light on the roots of the modern
Republican Party, links between religion and politics, and the role
of ethnic and cultural loyalties in political life. Originally
published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
