"From its founding during the presidency of Andrew Jackson to the bitter divisions between Northern and Southern Democrats over the question of slavery and the party's failure to occupy the White House for over 20 years after the Civil War, the Democratic party has had its share of ups and downs. Yet it has always regrouped, and with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to four consecutive terms, it became a defining institution of 20th-century American life."--Adapted from back cover.
