Defense Of The Whigs

""Defense of the Whigs"" is a political treatise written by John Pendleton Kennedy, an American writer and politician, in 1835. The book argues in favor of the Whig Party and their political principles, which were opposed to the policies of the Democratic Party at the time. Kennedy defends the Whigs' stance on issues such as the national bank, internal improvements, and tariffs, and criticizes the Democrats for their support of states' rights and limited federal power. He also provides a historical context for the Whigs' emergence as a political force, tracing their roots back to the American Revolution and the Federalist Party. Overall, ""Defense of the Whigs"" is a passionate defense of a political ideology that Kennedy believed was essential for the progress and prosperity of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
