Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book contains an extensive interview with Peter B. Sweeny, a notorious mid-19th century Democratic party boss from New York, outlining his political views for the nation and the state of New York, including his thoughts on hot-button topics such as the impact of the 15th amendment and the continuing impact of the Civil War. The author presents these views within the context of Sweeny's rise to power as well as the complicated national politics of the Reconstruction Era. The author also situates Sweeny's positions on topics like suffrage, civil rights, the Freedmen's Bureau and the relationship between labor and capital within the broader political climate of the time, revealing not only the personal ambitions of a political boss but the deeper political issues at play during a tumultuous period of American history.
