Summary "History of the United States, Volume 3" by Elisha Benjamin Andrews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the intricate political landscape of the United States from the early 19th century, focusing particularly on the dynamics between the Whigs and Democrats during the period leading up to the Civil War. The book delves into critical events such as the controversies surrounding slavery, the formation of political parties, and key legislative compromises. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an exploration of American political history, beginning with an overview of the Whig Party and its foundational principles. It discusses the ideological divides that emerged in the aftermath of the War of 1812, highlighting how differing views on federalism, banking, tariffs, land policies, and infrastructure development fueled tensions between the Whigs and their opponents. The author introduces prominent political figures such as John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay, describing their roles and influence in shaping early American governance as the nation grappled with its identity and future.
