Lives of the Parties: The History of Political Parties in the United States
Event Details
Join Librarian Robert Voyles to learn about the history of
political parties in the United States from our founding to the current party
system. We will examine the assortment of parties that have risen and fallen in
our political history, their ideological origins, how their platforms developed
over time, and the partisan struggles between them that shaped our political
landscape.
