Synopsis "Tin Horns and Calico: A Decisive Episode in the Emergence of Democracy"
Tin Horns And Calico: A Decisive Episode In The Emergence Of Democracy is a historical non-fiction book written by Henry Christman. The book explores the emergence of democracy in the United States during the late 19th century, with a particular focus on the role of the Populist movement. The author delves into the social and economic conditions of the time, including the rise of industrialization and the resulting inequalities and injustices faced by working-class Americans. He also examines the political landscape of the era, with the two-party system dominated by wealthy elites who were out of touch with the needs and concerns of the common people. Through the lens of the Populist movement, Christman highlights the efforts of ordinary citizens to organize and push for political and economic reforms that would benefit the majority rather than the privileged few. He explores the key figures and events of the movement, including the People's Party convention of 1892, the Omaha Platform, and the 1896 presidential election. Overall, Tin Horns And Calico offers a detailed and engaging account of a pivotal moment in American history, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for greater democracy, equality, and justice in the face of entrenched power and privilege.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
