Summary

This chapter sees the Civil War as part of a longer critical juncture in which different forms of mass politics developed and merged with elite politics, as part of the abolitionist movement joined the new Republican Party and constituted a movement-party that was responsible for turning a war over secession into a battle to free the slaves. This movement-party hybrid relapsed into ordinary party politics at war’s end, deserting the newly-freed slaves and turning the Republicans into a northern-western party of business.
