Description: A careful and detailed study of the western frontier and the influence of the west on party life from pre-Revolutionary days to 1825. Traces the economic development of the west from 1815 to 1825, in regard to occupational life, markets, transportation, and the influence of that life. Examines the divergence of the west and south as the west was led to support the New England candidate for president in 1824. Discusses the formation of political parties along geographical lines, and examines decline of Federalism and the rise of nationalism as a reflection of the fact that the views, habits, and interests of the east were not readily reconciled with those of the south and west. This volume should interest serious students of western and party history.
Notes: The author's doctoral dissertation, University of Wisconsin, 1917, but not published as a thesis.
