| Summary |
"American Politics (Non-Partisan) from the Beginning to Date: Embodying a History of All the Political Parties, Their Views and Records on All Important Questions" by Hon. Thomas V. Cooper and Hector T. Fenton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work presents an analysis of the evolution and dynamics of American political parties, detailing their stances on critical national issues from colonial times to the contemporary period of the 1890s. The book aims to serve as a reference for understanding political allegiance and ideological shifts in the U.S. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the early political landscape of the American colonies, specifically focusing on the emergence of Whigs and Tories. It describes how initial sentiments led to political divisions, which crystallized during the colonial protests against British taxation, illustrated by significant events like the Stamp Act. The authors outline how these tensions forged a political identity, laying the groundwork for the Continental Congress and the eventual push for independence. This context establishes the foundations from which American political parties would later evolve, highlighting the importance of civic engagement and the historical tensions that have shaped the nation's political fabric.
