Excerpt from Western Influences on Political Parties to 1825, Vol. 22: An Essay in Historical Interpretation
This study was begun in a search for the key to the political history of Monroe's presidency, so long superficially known as the Era of Good Feeling. The quest for the unifying principle of this confused period revealed, however, that it could not be separated from the events which marked the earlier history of parties, and that it would be necessary to treat the whole question of the rise and decline of the first pair of parties in the United States - Federalism and Jeffersonian Republicanism, Due regard for the threads of continuity in this larger topic required that the operation of formative influences be traced from about the middle of the eighteenth century to the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth. The study has thus become a sketch of our party evolution down to 1825, so far as that evolution was influenced by new forces and issues released or raised by the development of new western areas.
It is hoped that the essay may be sufficiently successful to warrant a continuation of this type of study for the period since 1825.
