Summary

"American Politics (Non-Partisan) from the Beginning to Date: Embodying a History of All the Political Parties, Their Views and Records on All Important Questions" by Hon. Thomas V. Cooper and Hector T. Fenton, is a detailed exploration of the origins and progress of political parties in the United States from its colonial beginnings up to the 1890s. It examines how the American colonies' early political feelings, mainly between Whigs and Tories, led to the formation of political parties and their positions on significant national issues. The authors highlight the role of events, such as the Stamp Act and colonial resistance to British taxation, in shaping the political environment and setting the stage for the Continental Congress and the fight for independence. The book serves as a background tool for understanding the development of political allegiances and the shifts in ideologies that have molded American politics and civic responsibilities throughout history.
