The American revolution of 1800 : how Jefferson rescued democracy from tyranny and faction and what this means today / Daniel Sisson with Thom Hartmann. by Sisson, Dan, 1937- Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., [2014] Call #: 973.46092 J45si Subjects Jefferson, Thomas, 1743-1826 -- Political and social views.   Presidents -- United States -- Election -- 1800.   Political science -- United States -- History.   Revolutions -- United States -- History.   United States -- Politics and government -- 1789-1815. Series BK currents book ISBN:  9781609949853 1609949854 Edition:  40th anniversary edition. Description:  vii, 301 p. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "In this brilliant historical classic, Dan Sisson argues that Thomas Jefferson thought democratic revolutions would be necessary from time to time to break the grip of autocratic factions on the government. That is how Jefferson saw the election of 1800--and the lessons for today couldn't be more obvious. Most historians celebrate Jefferson's victory over Adams in 1800 as the beginning of the two-party system, but Jefferson would have been horrified by this interpretation. Drawing on the understanding of faction, revolution, and conspiracy reflected in the writings of the Founders, Sisson makes it clear that they, like Jefferson, envisioned essentially a nonparty state."--From publisher.
