Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the debates of a group of young men in New York during the 1830s as they faced two major issues of their time: the growing power of political parties and the rise of bank corporations. At the start of their careers, the young men were torn between the promises of patronage offered by the incumbent Regency party and the promise of freedom from party control offered by the Whigs. The Regency party had risen to power with a reforming agenda, but critics argued that they had abandoned those policies and become just as corrupt as the politicians they replaced. At the same time, the Regency promoted the creation of banks as a way to promote economic growth, while the Whigs viewed these institutions with suspicion as tools for extending political power. The book places these debates in the broader context of American development, using the experiences of these young men, who would go on to become important leaders in their own right, to discuss the challenges of building a democratic society. The book uncovers how political parties, along with their inevitable internal divisions and power dynamics, profoundly affected the development of the United States.
