First sentence: Notwithstanding the organizational death of one party and its replacement by another, a civil war virtually without precedent in modern Anglo-European history, and several realignments of partisan voting allegiances, the evidence collected in this study suggests that a fairly consistent view of the political world was carried over from the party of Clay to the party of Lincoln to the party of Calvin Coolidge, the last bearer of American Whiggism.
