Introduction
Modern American politics can feel very divisive, with each side firmly believing the other will bring about the end of democracy, liberty, and the republic as they know it.
Has America always been this way, or is divisive politics a new phenomenon?
In Founding Partisans, American historian H. W. Brands explores America's tempestuous early years.
