Party Politics in Alabama from 1850 through 1860

By Lewy Dorman; Introduction by Leah Rawls Atkins
University of Alabama Press

Lewy Dorman’s Party Politics in Alabama From 1850 Through 1860 reveals the flow of political events and the people behind these events during the critical decade preceding the Civil War. Dorman introduces the political leaders who vied for control and influence in the state and clearly explains the sectional rivalries and factional politics that flavored the Alabama political climate. This classic study, complete with statistical data, election maps, and table of election results, provides a good framework for other scholarly works on the period by contemporary historians. The book was originally issued in 1935 by the Alabama State Department of Archives and History as Number 13 in the Historical and Patriotic Series.

Lewy Dorman (1887-1965) was a Professor of History at Huntingdon College. 

Leah Rawls Atkins is Director of the Center for the Arts and Humanities at Auburn University.
