About this title

Synopsis

By the end of the nineteenth century, the United States stood on the verge of a new political order--an order very different from the one Americans had known since the age of Andrew Jackson. Party-oriented voting was to become less important and interest-group political activity more pervasive. Traditional policies of economic promotion were to be supplemented by significant measures of regulation and administration. 'From Realignment to Reform' traces these changes in New York State, from the tumultuous realigning elections of the mid-1890s to the peak of the Progressive reform era at the end of the following decade.
