Abstract/Description
Analyzing changes in the political party system has been approached in numerous forms. This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political...

This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political Studies (SRC-CPS), political attitudes of socio-economic groups are compared between states which show trends of Republicanism versus those favoring a Democratic party trend. These comparisons shed light on current realignment theory, the dismantling of the New Deal coalition, and the forming of new coalitions.

Tennessee's resolution includes 9 propositions to be embraced as amendments to the U.S. Constitution, regarding recognition of slaves as property, defining slave holding territories, protecting property rights with respect to fugitive slaves, and permanently limiting the power of Congress to outlaw slavery; further resolving, if such a "plan of adjustment" not be acceded to, that the slave states, and any Northern states electing to do so in union with them, may adopt for themselves the Constitution of the United States, so amended, as their own, and sever connections with states "refusing such reasonable guarantees to our future safety."

Show moreThis is the story of the February 1861 Washington Peace Conference, the bipartisan, last-ditch effort to prevent the Civil War, an effort that nearly averted the carnage that followed. Most of America's great statesmen came together at the historic Willard Hotel in a desperate attempt to stave off Civil War. Participants included Lincoln himself. Seven southern states had already seceded, and the conferees battled against time to craft a compromise to protect slavery and thus preserve the union and prevent war. Revelatory and definitive, The Peace That Almost Was, demonstrates that slavery was the main issue of the conference, and thus of the war itself, and that no matter the shared faith, family, and friendships of the participants, ultimately no compromise could be reached. At head of title: Non-extension of slavery the policy of "the fathers of the Republic."--Slavery allowed, though disapproved, in the old states, but absolutely prohibited in the territories and new states. - Effect of this policy, and its bearing upon the modern doctrine of state rights and state equality, stated and considered.
