Summary
Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party was the first party built on opposition to slavery to win on the national stage - but its victory was rooted in the earlier efforts of under-appreciated antislavery third parties. Liberty Power tells the story of how abolitionist activists built the most transformative third-party movement in American history and effectively reshaped political structures in the decades leading up to the Civil War.
