Is democracy slipping from our grasp? This book warns that the United States faces a shift from liberty toward new forms of control—and it asks what readers must do now to defend American institutions.
In The Peril of the Republic, Daniel Chauncey Brewer examines signs of social and political upheaval that could threaten the Federal Constitution. He argues that education, immigration, and changing attitudes have altered how citizens view government and liberty. The text contrasts early American vigilance with a modern drift toward centralized power, urging readers to recognize the stakes and seek constructive action rather than despair.
Brewer frames a broad, international context—world ferment, competing ideologies, and the influence of external forces—while zeroing in on the United States’ need to preserve tradition, make informed political choices, and safeguard constitutional limits. The work emphasizes responsibility, warns against sweeping reforms that erode liberty, and calls for steady leadership to defend the principles that helped shape the nation.
Ideal for readers of history, political analysis, and anyone concerned about the future of American democracy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling case that mass immigration during the last fifty years has undermined the integrity of American institutions and led to a 'socialist' and 'bolshevik' tilt in society. The author argues that these immigrants have created a proletariat class that now poses an 'imminent peril' to the country's well-being. He asserts that Americans of native stock are greatly outnumbered (within certain sections of the United States) by sometime aliens, unassimilated persons, and illiterates. Furthermore, he claims that naturalization has been conducted with disregard for citizenship requirements and that the census fails to provide an accurate count of unassimilated foreign-born individuals. This book is a historical analysis of American immigration with a focus on the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is thematically relevant to contemporary discussions on immigration and citizenship, but its conclusions are based on the author's interpretation of events and should be read with a critical eye.
