Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the concealed cause behind the overwhelming Democratic victory in the 1892 U.S. presidential election. Amid forecasts that it would be won by the Republican incumbent, Benjamin Harrison, or at best be a squeaker, the contest instead resulted in a stunning rejection of Harrison, swept away in a tide of Democratic support for his challenger, Grover Cleveland. The author maintains this was due to a popular uprising against an unspoken, ingrained sense of snobbery and privilege that had begun to infect the Republican Party and pervade American society, alienating voters who, regardless of their economic status, held dear the notion that all citizens were created equal. The author traces this dangerous trend of elitism back through decades of American history, from the Revolution through to the 19th century, to demonstrate that it is not a new phenomenon. The author's examination exposes the insidious nature of class consciousness and its corrosive effect on the character of a society, especially one founded on democratic principles. Moreover, the author shows how this issue of social justice and equality resonates strongly with voters of all stripes and continues to inform and shape the political landscape of the United States.
