Ж.
he political home of Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, Horace Greeley, and the young Abraham
Lincoln, the American Whig Party was represented
at every level of American politics
—
local, state, and
federal
—
in the years before the Civil War, and
controlled the White House for eight of the
twenty-two years that
i t
existed. Now, in The Rise
ani
Fatt
of the American Whig Party, Michael Holt gives us
the only comprehensive history of the Whigs ever
written
—
a monumental history covering in rich
detail the American political landscape from the
Age of Jackson to impending disunion.
In Michael Holt s hands, the history of the
Whig Parry becomes a political history of the
United States during the tumultuous Antebellum
period. He offers a panoramic account of a time
when a welter of parties (Whig, Democratic, Anti-
Mason, Know Nothing, Free Soil, Republican)
and many
extraordinari,-
politicai
statesmen
(including Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun,
William Seward, Daniel Webster, Martin Van
Buren,
and
Henn-
Clay4 struggled to control the
national agenda as the United States inched
towards secession. It was an era when Americans
were passionately involved in politics, when local
concerns drove national
poliev,
and when momen¬
tous political events rocked the country, including
the Nullification Controversy, the Panic of litf.
the Annexation of Texas, the Compromise of 1S54,
and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Holt captures all of
this as he shows that, amid thiscontentious political
activity, the
Whií
Parrv continuously strove to
unite North and South, repeatedly trving to find a
compromise position. Indeed, the Whig Party
emerges
as the nation s last great hope to prevent
secession and civil war.
The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party is a
magisterial work of history, one that has already
been hailed by William Gienapp of Harvard Uni¬
versity as one of the most important books on
nineteenth-century politics ever written.
Michael F. Holt is Langbourne
M. Williams Professor of American History and
Chair of the History Department at the University
of Virginia. A leading authority on nineteenth-
century American politics, he has been a fellow of
the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral
Sciences and of the National Humanities Center,
and in
1993—94,
he was the Pitt Professor of
American History and Institutions at Cambridge
Universit)·.
He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.
