For reasons which will be evident in what follows, the main body of the work (chapters 3 through 11) will focus on the Democratic party and the labor movement of California through the forty-year period after the Civil War. The two opening chapters turn back to explore aspects of the Jacksonian background which appear crucial to an understanding of what occurred in California. The final chapter looks beyond the turn of the century to trace certain results of the sequence of events in the West for the labor movement as a whole, and to suggest the influence of those events upon the crystallization of an American concept of national identity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 318gRelease Year: 1975 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
