Summary:"The Democratic Party is usually extolled as a heroic party of the people, but it has a sordid past rooted in slavery, segregation, and cynical exploitation of African Americans. This book traces the Party from its origins in the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson to the end of Reconstruction and LBJ's Great Society"--
