The authors not only provide an in-depth analysis of the interplay of interests and ideology behind the People's movement but also establish relationships between the emergent political culture that bolstered that movement and the Whig and Democratic parties of the later second-party system. Moreover, they demonstrate that the central objective of the People's movement was not simply to enhance American political democracy: it was also fuelled by a determination to avoid taxation of personalty (personal property or estate), which quickly won the support of canny and well-heeled backers both in upstate New York and in New York City. The authors draw on extensive research on New York's political life, from the town and county level to the state Assembly and Senate, and include profiles of the groups who were active in state politics in the early nineteenth century.
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Republican Meeting of the Citizens of Albany and Colonie, at Jared Skinner's Long Room, March 13th, 1810 We find our country divided unhappily into two great parties, and however lamentable such a state of things may be, it appears to have been the lot of humanity from the earliest ages. How pain ful the reflection to the bosom of philanthropy, that. Since the' ex pulsion of our first parents from the Garden of Eden, no period can be pointed to, when mankind were linked in the bonds of harmony, and when social intercourse was undisturbed by the c'lashings of in; terest, the bicke'rings of prejudice, the madness of ambition, and the rage of bigotry and superstition Hence it is, that a free con stitution may be compared to a solitary traveller in the deserts of Africa, surrounded on all sides by wily serpents and ferocious beasts of prey, and depending upon ever-watchful vigilance alone to pree serve him from the poisonous fangs of the one, and the devouring jaws of the other.
