About This Item
Place_Pub: New York: Fordham University Press, 1998. very good. 367, wraps, illus., footnotes, bibliographic notes, index. North's Civil War No. 7. In this book, Jean Baker explores the way in which the Northern Democrats of the mid-nineteenth century lived their public lives. She begins with a psychobiographical explanation of how people became Democrats, weighing the importance of such influences as education and family life. She then discusses two major elements that set Democrats apart from members of other political organizations: a modified Republican ideology tailored to the circumstances of the Civil War, and a mordant racism conveyed most strikingly through minstrelsy. Finally, Baker studies the neglected subject of partisan behavior, concentrating on the significance of parades, voting, and other rituals.
