A Bone To Gnaw For The Democrats - Paperback - 9780548494387

""A Bone To Gnaw For The Democrats"" is a political pamphlet written by William Cobbett in 1807. The book is a scathing critique of the Democratic Party in the United States, which Cobbett viewed as corrupt and dangerous to the stability of the country. The title of the book is a reference to the idea that the Democrats were like dogs who were given a bone to gnaw on, but instead of being satisfied with what they had, they continued to gnaw at it until it was destroyed. Cobbett's arguments in the book are based on his belief that the Democrats were promoting radical ideas such as universal suffrage and the abolition of slavery, which he saw as a threat to the established order. He also accused the Democrats of being in league with France, which was at the time engaged in a bitter conflict with Britain. Despite its harsh tone, ""A Bone To Gnaw For The Democrats"" was widely read and influential in its time. It was part of a larger debate about the future of democracy in the United States, and helped to shape the political discourse of the era. Today, the book is considered a valuable historical document, providing insight into the political and social tensions of early 19th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
